Presentation
Case 4 presented with renal and hepatic involvement at 3 months, and case 5 with developmental delay at 7 months. [ajnr.org]
Congenital cardiac defects, ichthyosis, and hypertrichosis may be present. The skin over the dorsum of the hands and feet often appears dark. Ataxia is sometimes present and MRIs may reveal vermal and cerebellar hypoplasia. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Osteopenia or osteoporosis was present in all patients of our cohort, sometimes with severe clinical implications. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
The infantile form is fatal in infancy and presents with hypotonia and a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (CARDIOMYOPATHY, HYPERTROPHIC). The childhood form usually presents in the second year of life with proximal weakness and respiratory symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Definition A disorder characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, ocular anomalies, and brain malformations. [uniprot.org]
Systemic Features: Onset of symptoms commonly begins in infancy with severe hypotonia while developmental delays soon become evident as most children do not achieve normal milestones. The amount of cognitive impairment is variable. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Symptoms may include neurological problems (developmental delays, cognitive impairment, seizures, ataxia, dysarthria, esotropia), growth problems (failure to thrive, growth delays), organ issues (gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting [rarediseasesnetwork.org]
Symptoms of CDG in infancy and childhood may include: low muscle tone or floppiness (hypotonia) poor growth, failure to thrive developmental delays liver disease (hepatopathy) with elevated liver enzymes abnormal bleeding or blood clotting misaligned [chop.edu]
- Fatigue
Results: Ischemic forearm exercise resulted in no increase in lactate, an exaggerated increase in ammonia, rapid contractile fatigue and a finger flexor muscle contracture. [n.neurology.org]
AB - Objective: We investigated metabolism and physiological responses to exercise in an 18-year-old woman with multiple congenital abnormalities and exertional muscle fatigue, tightness, and rhabdomyolysis. [utsouthwestern.influuent.utsystem.edu]

• Excepting debrancher deficiency (glycogen storage type III, GSD III), defects of glycogen breakdown cause exercise intolerance with premature fatigue, cramps, and myalgia, often culminating in acute muscle breakdown with discoloration of urine (myoglobinuria [medlink.com]
Clinical features may include hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, muscle cramps, exercise intolerance, and progressive fatigue and weakness. Preliminary biochemical testing may be helpful in making a diagnosis. [sjhbangorlab.testcatalog.org]

The skeletal system shows obvious signs of delayed or abnormal development, manifested as short stature and short limbs (short-limb dwarfism) as well as broad hands. [tandfonline.com]
- Falling
Comparable to patients with McArdle disease, the patient developed a 'second wind' with a spontaneous fall in exercise heart rate and perceived exertion. Like in McArdle disease, this was attributable to an increase in muscle oxidative capacity. [utsouthwestern.influuent.utsystem.edu]
Cycle exercise revealed low oxidative capacity and a spontaneous "second wind," associated with a 40 beat per minute (bpm) drop in exercise heart rate, from 159 (between minute 5-6) to 119 bpm at minute 14 of sustained exercise with a corresponding fall [n.neurology.org]
The clinical manifestations fall into two groups, those associated with abnormalities of liver function and those involving abnormalities of muscle function. [britannica.com]

Prevention
In skeletal muscle, e.g., GSD 5, this can prevent proper muscle functioning, exercise intolerance and rhabdomyolysis. [knowledge.statpearls.com]
A high-protein diet may also be effective in preventing hypoglycemia as gluconeogenesis is intact in these patients. Currently, there is no effective treatment for the progressive myopathy or cardiomyopathy. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
This has been mentioned in other samples of adult PMM2-CDG patients [16],[23] and implies the importance of specific monitoring to prevent fractures. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Just as cells reciprocally regulate glycolysis and gluconeogenesis to prevent a futile cycle, so too do cells use reciprocal schemes to regulate glycogen breakdown and synthesis. [oregonstate.edu]
