At the Human Disease Glycomics/Proteome Initiative workshop held on August 27 on the occasion of the fourth HUPO Congress in Munich, Germany, the working groups reported on pilot studies, performed by 21 laboratories world‐wide, to analyze glycan using MS. During the steering committee on July 31 in Osaka, Japan, it was reported that these groups have developed a system using MS to assess the world‐wide network on the screening of congenital disorders of glycosylation. The concept of glycobioinformatics was also explained at this meeting. The session on PTMs laid particular emphasis on the importance of functional glycomics using glycosyltransferase genes as well as on the importance of identifying the target protein(s) carrying the sugar chains.
