IMINOGLYCINURIA

Description

Iminoglycinuria is a metabolic disorder resulting from defective renal tube reabsorption of proline, hydroxyproline and glycine. The prevalence is estimated at around 1 in 15 000. The disorder is usually asymptomatic and is identified fortuitously by detection of increased levels of the imino acids and glycine in the urine. It is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

Most common symptoms of IMINOGLYCINURIA

  • Intellectual disability
  • Global developmental delay
  • Hearing impairment
  • Spasticity
  • Blindness

HYPERGLYCINURIA

Alternate names

HYPERGLYCINURIA Is also known as glycinuria with or without oxalate nephrolithiasis, glycinuria with or without oxalate urolithiasis, iminoglycinuria type ii

Description

The imino acids, proline and hydroxyproline, share a renal tubular reabsorptive mechanism with glycine. Iminoglycinuria (IG ), a benign inborn error of amino acid transport, is also a normal finding in neonates and infants under 6 months of age (Chesney, 2001). Early studies of families with iminoglycinuria suggested genetic complexity, with homozygotes developing IG and heterozygotes manifesting only hyperglycinuria (HG) (summary by Broer et al., 2008).A phenotype of combined glucosuria and glycinuria has been described (see {138070}).

Most common symptoms of HYPERGLYCINURIA

  • Seizures
  • Cataract
  • Hypertension
  • Microphthalmia
  • Tachycardia
