Introduction: transferrin is a glycoprotein produced in the liver, whose function to transport iron tissues. It has been used mainly for differential diagnosis of anemias as biomarker. There are different isoforms due difference their glycosylation patterns. This microheterogeneity allowed its use biomarker Congenital Disorders Glycosylation; genetic diseases result mutations genes that encode enzymes post-translational mechanism protein glycosylation.Objective: evaluate serum Glycosylation CubaMethods: descriptive and cross-sectional study was developed at National Center Medical Genetics period from 2016 2022.

Cosmc, encoded by the X-linked C1GALT1C1, is a molecular chaperone in endoplasmic reticulum and master regulator of O-glycosylation mammalian glycoproteins. Recently, we described germline mutation C1GALT1C1 two male patients, giving rise to congenital disorder glycosylation-COSMC-CDG. Here, have identified female patient with de novo mosaic variant (c.202C>T, p.Arg68*), which results truncated nonfunctional form Cosmc (Cosmc-R68). The mosaic, as ~27% her buccal cells carry mutation. now 5-year old who presented nonimmune hydrops fetalis. As essential for generation normal O-glycans through regulating T-synthase activity, thereby enabling formation universal Core 1 O-glycan Galβ1-3GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr (T-antigen), loss leads expression unusual precursor termed Tn-antigen (CD175) (GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr). Owing mutational mosaicism, only significant minority would exhibit abnormal O-glycosylation. Analysis red blood (RBCs), leukocytes, serum from this indicated reduced proteins lower activity. Consistent these findings, observed glycoproteins RBCs patient, along elevated compared controls. This case represents first description true loss-of-function that is, one occurred postzygotically during embryogenesis, raises interesting questions about role fetal development its consequences on clinical presentation.
