The Role of Pyridoxine Treatment for Seizures in Patients with PGAP3-Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation

Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delay/intellectual disability, seizures, dysmorphic features, and diverse congenital anomalies with elevated alkaline phosphatase. It is an autosomal recessive disease caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the PIGV, PIGY, PIGO, PGAP2, PIGW, and PGAP3 genes, which are involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis. Mutations in the PGAP3 gene cause HPMRS type 4.
