Type I carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein (CDG) syndrome is a genetic multisystem disorder generally without overt renal problems. We report a neonate with neurological abnormalities and congenital nephrotic syndrome of diffuse mesangial sclerosis type. Serum transferrin isoelectric focusing showed the typical abnormalities of type I CDG syndrome. Normal transferrin focusing findings in other patients with similar renal problems excluded the possibility of a secondary biochemical phenomenon. The diagnosis of type I CDG syndrome was confirmed by demonstration of a deficiency of phosphomannomutase. No evidence of pontocerebellar atrophy was found in imaging or at autopsy. We conclude that congenital nephrotic syndrome may occur in type I CDG syndrome, and that this diagnosis should be considered in patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome. Absence of pontocerebellar atrophy does not exclude the diagnosis of type I CDG syndrome.
