Hypoglycinemia

MedGen UID:
868574
Concept ID:
C4022973
Finding
Synonym: Low blood glycine levels
 
HPO: HP:0012277

Definition

An abnormally reduced concentration of glycine in the blood. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

PSAT deficiency
MedGen UID:
410026
Concept ID:
C1970253
Disease or Syndrome
Deficiency of phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) is characterized biochemically by low plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of serine and glycine and clinically by intractable seizures, acquired microcephaly, hypertonia, and psychomotor retardation. Outcome is poor once the individual becomes symptomatic, but treatment with serine and glycine supplementation from birth can lead to a normal outcome (Hart et al., 2007).
