Cause

Diagnosis

PMM2 deficiency is diagnosed through genetic sequencing. More than 115 mutations in the PMM2 gene have been found to cause this disease.[16]

Treatment

Treatment with mannose powder 1 to 2 g / kg per day results in significant improvement in protein glycosylation after 1 year.[17] Other treatments involve management of the symptoms that are apparent in each individual, including physical therapy to improve core strength and mobility, occupational therapy for coordination, speech therapy for talking and eating.[13]
