Reduction of Charged Glycoconjugates in Tango2 KO Mouse Brain

The transport and Golgi organization 2 (TANGO2) gene has been identified to cause a rare recessive genetic disorder known as TANGO2-deficiency disorder (TDD). TDD is a multi-systemic disorder that can affect different organs including the brain, heart, and muscles, presenting as recurrent metabolic crises, muscle weakness, and neurological symptoms including developmental delay and seizures.
