Abstract
A 13-year-old girl with early-onset, mild, slowly progressive mental retardation caused by nonketotic hyperglycinemia is described. The plasma and cerebrospinal fluid glycine concentrations were elevated, but the cerebrospinal fluid/plasma glycine ratio was only mildly elevated. The diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of a defect in the activity of the glycine cleavage system in cultured lymphoblasts.Entities:
