Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare metabolic diseases, due to impaired protein and lipid glycosylation. We identified two patients with defective serum transferrin glycosylation and mutations in the MAGT1 gene. These patients present with a phenotype that is mainly characterized by intellectual and developmental disability. MAGT1 has been described to be a subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex and more specifically of the STT3B complex. However, it was also claimed that MAGT1 is a magnesium (Mg 2+ ) transporter. So far, patients with mutations in MAGT1 were linked to a primary immunodeficiency, characterized by chronic EBV infections attributed to a Mg 2+ homeostasis defect (XMEN). We compared the clinical and cellular phenotype of our two patients to that of an XMEN patient that we recently identified. All three patients have an N -glycosylation defect, as was shown by the study of different substrates, such as GLUT1 and SHBG, demonstrating that the posttranslational glycosylation carried out by the STT3B complex is dysfunctional in all three patients. Moreover, MAGT1 deficiency is associated with an enhanced expression of TUSC3, the homolog protein of MAGT1, pointing toward a compensatory mechanism. Hence, we delineate MAGT1-CDG as a disorder associated with two different clinical phenotypes caused by defects in glycosylation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
