Severe Hepatitis: An Unusual Presentation of Phosphomannomutase 2 Deficiency

Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG), the most prevalent N-glycosylation disease, is a multi-organ disease with marked clinical heterogeneity. Severe liver involvement is not a common find in these patients. A six-month-old girl was referred to the emergen...
