Abstract

Mutations in genes critical for proper intra-Golgi transport can cause human syndromes due to defects in glycosylation of proteins. Here, the authors identify a human variant of Syntaxin-5 that causes fatal multisystem disease and mislocalization of glycosyltransferases due to altered Golgi transport.
