Abstract
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. Both mutations had a 6 to 8% of normal GLDC activities when expressed in COS7 cells.
