Abstract

An inherited defect in the glycine cleavage enzyme results in the condition of neonatal glycine encephalopathy which has not responded to the current innovative methods of therapy. A re-examination of the enzyme structure and metabolic pathways, leads us to recommend future clinical evaluation of (1) vitamin-responsiveness, e.g., pyridoxine, folate and lipoic acid, (2) methionine, (3) N5, N10-methylene tetrahydrofolate and (4) alpha-methylserine therapy during the critical period of neonatal brain growth and development.
