This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), under CFDA Program 93.350, aims to functionally characterize genetic variants of the manganese transporter SLC39A8 to identify pathogenic variants that contribute to a rare genetic disorder called SLC39A8-Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (SLC39A8-CDG).

The $148,248 award, granted on June 1, 2025, with a completion date of May 31, 2026, will support two key research objectives: 1) Developing and applying a high-throughput cell-based assay to screen nearly 300 SLC39A8 variants for impaired manganese transport function, and 2) Analyzing the cellular trafficking and surface expression of SLC39A8 variants with identified transport defects using flow cytometry. The successful completion of this project is expected to provide critical evidence for improved risk prediction and early treatment of SLC39A8-CDG patients, as well as enhance the understanding of this understudied metal transporter's molecular mechanisms.
