Objective  This study reports a Chinese patient with a Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) caused by compound-heterozygous mutations in the Conserved Oligomeric Golgi 5 ( COG5 ) gene and thereby offers concrete evidence for early diagnosis.    Methods  The clinical manifestations, the results of laboratory examinations and genetic analysis of a 4-year-old Chinese girl with CDG are reported. We also reviewed previous CDG cases that involved  COG5  mutations by comparing the phenotypes and genotypes in different cases.    Results  The patient was admitted to our hospital due to ataxia and psychomotor delay. The major clinical manifestations were postural instability, difficulty in walking, psychomotor delay, hypohidrosis, hyperkeratosis of the skin, and ulnar deviation of the right-hand fingers. Biochemical analyses revealed coagulation defect and liver lesions. Vision tests showed choroidopathy and macular hypoplasia. Whole-exome sequencing identified the hitherto unreported compound-heterozygous  COG5  mutations, c.1290C > A (p.Y430X) and c.2077A > C (p.T693P). Mutation p.Y430X is nonsense, leading to a truncated protein. Mutation p.T693P is located at a highly conserved region, and thus the polar-to-non-polar substitution presumably affects the structure and function of COG5. According to the Human Genome Mutation Database Professional, there have been totally 13 CDG cases caused by 13  COG5  mutations. They are mainly characterized by psychomotor delay, hypotonia, ataxia, microcephaly, and hearing and visual abnormalities.    Conclusion  The clinical manifestations of the patient are mild but consistent with the clinical characteristics of the published COG5-CDG cases. The results of this study extend the spectrum of clinical and genetic findings in COG5-CDG.
