Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a clinically and biochemically heterogeneous subgroup of inherited metabolic disorders. Most CDG with abnormal N-glycosylation can be detected by transferrin screening, however, MOGS-CDG escapes this routine screening. Combined with the clinical heterogeneity of reported cases, diagnosing MOGS-CDG can be challenging.

Method: Patients selected effectiveness and adverse effects criteria from the Subject's Response to Antipsychotics-34 questionnaire. Numerical data from meta-analyses, clinical trial data, receptor affinities and expert opinions were used to rank antipsychotics on each criterion.
Dopamine D2-receptor blockade by antipsychotic medication reduces psychotic symptoms, but may reduce subjective well-being. The current study aims to further explore the relation between dopamine D2-receptor affinity and subjective well-being within a large sample of patients with psychotic disorders. Patients participated in a longitudinal naturalistic cohort study: the Genetic Risk and Outcome of Psychosis (GROUP) study.
