Abstract
We examined ophthalmologically two siblings with nonketotic hyperglycinemia who had negligible activities of glycine cleavage system in the liver. Both had jerky nystagmus. The elder brother had a normal electroretinographic response, while the younger brother's response was subnormal. There may be a close association of subnormal electroretinographic response and hyperglycinemia, because glycine can act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the retina.Entities:
