SLC35A2-CDG: Functional Characterization, Expanded Molecular, Clinical, and Biochemical Phenotypes of 30 Unreported Individuals
Abstract Pathogenic de novo variants in the X‐linked gene SLC35A2 encoding the major Golgi‐localized UDP‐galactose transporter required for proper protein and lipid glycosylation cause a rare type of congenital disorder of glycosylation known as SLC35A2‐congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG; formerly CDG‐IIm). To date, 29 unique de novo variants from 32 unrelated individuals have been described in the…

Reducing Unnecessary Screening in Lynch-Like Syndrome with Tumor Sequencing
A simulated case based survey assessed the use of tumor sequencing data in making recommendations for colon and endometrial cancer screening/prevention in suspected Lynch syndrome. Providers often recommend increased screening procedures based on the detection of mismatch repair deficiency by IHC staining, even when no germline MMR mutation has been identified. Knowledge of biallelic somatic…
