Three unrelated adult patients with mild hyperglycinemia, infantile hypotonia, mental retardation, behavioral hyperirritability, and aggressive outbursts were screened for glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) mutations; two novel missense mutations (A389V and R739H) were found.

A 9-year-old boy with learning disability and intermittent choreoathetosis during febrile illnesses had elevated plasma glycine level and CSF/plasma glycine ratio (0.044) and a novel homozygous missense mutation (c.605C>T; p.Ala202Val) in the GLDC gene, confirming the diagnosis of NKH.
Possibly damaging variants were observed in SCZ: A203V, S801N in GLDC, near the atypical nonketotic hyperglycinemia causative mutations (A202V, A802V); G825D in GLDC, a potential neural tube defect causative mutation; and R253X in AMT.
Structural and expression analyses of normal and mutant mRNA encoding glycine decarboxylase: three-base deletion in mRNA causes nonketotic hyperglycinemia.
Recurrent mutations in P- and T-proteins of the glycine cleavage complex and a novel T-protein mutation (N145I): a strategy for the molecular investigation of patients with nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).
A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from fibroblasts of a patient with nonketotic hyperglycinemia bearing the biallelic changes c.1742C > G (p.Pro581Arg) and c.2368C > T (p.Arg790Trp) in the GLDC gene.
