Background: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of neurometabolic diseases that result from genetic defects in the glycosylation of proteins and/or lipids. Multiple pathogenic genes contribute to the varying reported phenotypes of individuals with CDG-1 syndromes, most of which are inherited as autosomal recessive traits, although X-linked inheritance has also been reported. Pathogenic variants in the asparagine-linked glycosylation 13 homolog (ALG13) gene have been implicated in the aetiology of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) 36 (OMIM:*300776, DEE36).

This paper pertains to lobular breast cancer. A retrospective, observational study was undertaken between 2011 and 2019 on a cross-section of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative, lymph node-negative, early-stage breast cancer patients.

Targeted therapies have significantly improved outcomes for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. To improve treatment-associated toxicity, chemotherapy-sparing approaches are currently being investigated.
