• W4224291220 abstract "Carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT) is a serum biomarker specific for heavy alcohol consumption. This refers to glycoforms of transferrin characterized by a reduced degree of glycosylation. Excessive alcohol consumption increases these glycoforms.[1]Bortolotti F. Sorio D. Bertaso A. Tagliaro F. Analytical and diagnostic aspects of carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT): a critical review over years 2007-2017.J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2018; 147: 2-12https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpba.2017.09.006Crossref PubMed Scopus (34) Google Scholar Therefore, CDT is used as a surrogate marker of chronic alcohol consumption and in some countries for the renewal of driving licenses after being arrested for drink driving or for re-entry into high-risk occupations. While lower sensitivity of CDT in some conditions is well known, false positives are scarcely described. A 33-year-old man was referred for increased CDT measured as part of occupational screening (train driver). He has no personal or family history and denies alcohol consumption for several months. There was no clinical sign of chronic liver disease. Repeat testing confirmed increased CDT (6.8%, N <1.7%) with normal hepatic tests. Further biochemical testing (western blot) for congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) revealed abnormal protein weight for transferrin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and orosomucoid, prompting a diagnosis of CDG or secondary CDG. An in-depth interview revealed pronounced digestive intolerance to sugar from early childhood, with strong aversion to candy and peculiar dietary habits. The dietary pattern was highly suggestive of hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI). A 31-year-old patient was referred for persistently increased CDT. After losing his driving license for drink driving, CDT (2.6%) remained increased despite alcohol withdrawal for 8 months. Clinical examination found no sign of chronic liver disease. Liver tests and abdominal ultrasound were normal. History revealed that one sister also had unexplained increased CDT (4%) without alcohol consumption. Furthermore, the patient described digestive intolerance, for himself and for his two sisters, during early childhood when dietary diversification was initiated. He had no history of tooth decay and dislikes candy. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of HFI in both patients by showing p.Ala150Pro homozygosity in the ALDOB gene. Although CDT is a reliable marker of chronic alcohol misuse, many conditions impair its interpretation. Most of them are related to lower sensitivity like female sex, higher body mass index, and chronic liver disease. Increased CDT without alcohol consumption is less well described (Fig. 1). By altering glycosylation of proteins, CDG may lead to increased CDT.[2]Quintana E. Sturiale L. Montero R. Andrade F. Fernandez C. Coucet M.L. et al.Secondary disorders of glycosylation in inborn errors of fructose metabolism.J Inherit Metab Dis. 2009; 32: S273-S278https://doi.org/10.1007/s10545-009-1219-4Crossref PubMed Scopus (19) Google Scholar HFI is a secondary CDG defined by reduced aldolase B activity due to ALDOB gene variants, the main enzyme of fructose metabolism.[3]Santer R.

Fructose uptake results in a rapid increase in fructose 1 phosphate, leading to the competitive inhibition of phosphomannose isomerase and thus altering N-glycosylation (Fig. 2).[4]Bouteldja N. Timson D.J. The biochemical basis of hereditary fructose intolerance.J Inherit Metab Dis. 2010; 33: 105-112https://doi.org/10.1007/s10545-010-9053-2Crossref PubMed Scopus (69) Google Scholar The onset of symptoms (nausea, bloating and vomiting) and metabolic disorders (hypoglycaemia, hyperlactataemia, hypophosphataemia, hyperuricaemia, hypermagnesaemia) are strongly correlated with the introduction of fructose or sucrose to the diet.[5]Gaughan S. Ayres L. Baker P.R.I.I. Hereditary fructose intolerance.in: Adam M.P. Ardinger H.H. Pagon R.A. GeneReviews® [Internet]. University of Washington, Seattle, Seattle (WA)2015 Dec 17: 1993-2022http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK333439/Google Scholar Higher amounts of fructose may lead to acute lethargy, convulsions and/or progressive coma. However, due to variable penetrance, residual enzymatic activity, and “spontaneous” adoption of an appropriate diet by the children's family, diagnosis may be overlooked. Treatment is based on dietary restriction of fructose, sucrose and sorbitol. Although untreated HFI can induce long-term renal and hepatic impairment, adequate treatment before onset of organ failure grants normal quality of life and life expectancy. Increased CDT in HFI is well described in the paediatric literature, with CDT even being used to monitor compliance.[6]Pronicka E. Adamowicz M. Kowalik A. Ploski R. Radomyska B. Rogaszewska M. et al.Elevated carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) and its normalization on dietary treatment as a useful biochemical test for hereditary fructose intolerance and galactosemia.Pediatr Res. 2007; 62https://doi.org/10.1203/PDR.0b013e318068641aCrossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar This cause of altered transferrin glycosylation is not that uncommon and should be investigated when facing unexplained high CDT. Moreover, the strong aversion to candy and specific food intolerance makes it easy to screen for if adequately assessed along with alcohol consumption.
