note[edit]

It could be useful to cite the relevant literature on fucose in this article, considering that oral administration of fucose to some LAD II patients has beneficial effects. [1] --Ante lan ^talk 18:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LAD Types[edit]

The different LAD types have different gene defects. For example, )at least) one form of LAD II has a defect in a GDP-fucose transporter [2], which is not explained in the article. This is a note-to-self (or anyone else who comes along) to update the article to more fully explain LAD. Ante lan ^talk 20:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
