Protein O-linked-mannose beta-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 (POMGNT2) transfers N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to the 4-position of O-mannosylated alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1(30-653)) to generate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-beta-1,4-O-D-mannosyl-DAG1 (Yoshida-Moriguchi et al. 2013). Defects in POMGNT2 can cause muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy congenital with brain and eye anomalies A8 (MDDGA8; MIM:614830), a congenital muscular dystrophy that severely affects the development of the brain, eyes, and muscle, profound mental retardation, and death usually in the first years of life. This phenotype is also described as Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), which represents the most severe end of a phenotypic spectrum of dystroglycanopathies (Manzini et al. 2012). Other mutations in POMGNT2 can cause the milder dystroglycanopathy MDDGC8 (MIM:618135; Endo et al., 2015).
