Symptoms manifest during infancy or early childhood, including failure to thrive, decreased muscle tone, developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, skeletal abnormalities, unusual facial features, sensorineural hearing loss (hearing loss [fcdgc.rarediseasesnetwork.org]
For example, anti-seizure medications (anti-convulsants) may be used to treat seizures, thyroid hormone may be used to treat hypothyroidism and surgery may be used to treat certain skeletal malformations. [rarediseases.org]
- Convulsions
For example, anti-seizure medications (anti-convulsants) may be used to treat seizures, thyroid hormone may be used to treat hypothyroidism and surgery may be used to treat certain skeletal malformations. [rarediseases.org]
The recurrent episodes in infancy and early childhood may be associated with convulsions, apnea, decreased consciousness or coma. Patients may have generalized edema. [nature.com]
Treatment
Treatment and Prognosis To date, there are no known specific treatment options for ALG12-CDG. Treatment is aimed at the management of symptoms and the prevention of complications. Some ALG12-CDG patients die within the first years of life. [fcdgc.rarediseasesnetwork.org]
At this time, treatment is available for MPI-CDG (oral mannose or liver transplantation) (Jaeken. 2017. PubMed ID: 28484880). [preventiongenetics.com]
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of most forms of CDG is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [rarediseases.org]

Prognosis
Treatment and Prognosis To date, there are no known specific treatment options for ALG12-CDG. Treatment is aimed at the management of symptoms and the prevention of complications. Some ALG12-CDG patients die within the first years of life. [fcdgc.rarediseasesnetwork.org]
Affected individuals should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. [rarediseases.org]
Presence of congenital heart defects, genitourinary anomalies such as hydronephrosis, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, hypoplastic clitoris, and labia majora, and structural brain malformations may alter the prognosis [2]. [hindawi.com]
Prevention
Treatment is aimed at the management of symptoms and the prevention of complications. Some ALG12-CDG patients die within the first years of life. Mild cases, however, seem to have a good life expectancy. [fcdgc.rarediseasesnetwork.org]
In gene therapy, the defective gene present in a patient is replaced with a normal gene to enable the production of the active enzyme and prevent the development and progression of the disease. [rarediseases.org]
Hence, early specific diagnosis of any one entity is crucial for genetic counseling and elective preventive measures. [nature.com]
