Abstract
High urinary creatine to creatinine ratio (U-CrCrtR) is a potential diagnostic marker of X-linked creatine transporter (SLC6A8) deficiency. We developed a tandem mass-spectrometry method to simultaneously determine urinary creatine and creatinine in 975 individuals (0-18 years). U-CrCrtR increased up to 8 years and decreased thereafter. U-CrCrtR was 2.29 and 2.12 (99th percentile: 1.87) in two males with subsequently confirmed SLC6A8 mutations. The frequency of SLC6A8 deficiency was 2.3% in 157 males at risk.Entities:
