OMIA 002030-100936 : Glycine encephalopathy in Chlorocebus aethiops vervet |
Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number):
605899 (trait)
Mendelian trait/disorder:
unknown
Considered a defect:
yes
Cross-species summary:
Also known as Non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH)
History:
Chauke et al. (2016) confirmed "the diagnosis of NKH for the first time in vervet monkeys with cataracts"
Inheritance:
Given that this disorder is an inborn error of metabolism, it is most likely to be autosomal recessive.
Molecular basis:
Chauke et al. (2016): "Although deleterious effects of the three amino acid substitutions were not evaluated, one substitution of GLDC gene (S44R) could be disease-causing because of its drastic amino acid change, affecting amino acids conserved in different primate species."
