A novel SLC6A8 mutation associated with motor dysfunction in a child exhibiting creatine transporter deficiency.


ABSTRACT: Creatine transporter (CT) deficiency is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the SLC6A8 gene. We describe a clinical, biochemical and molecular examination of a child with X-linked cerebral creatine deficiency. Increased urinary creatine/creatinine ratio, abnormal brain proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and reduced creatine transport confirmed the clinical diagnosis. SLC6A8 analysis revealed a novel mutation that was hemizygous in the child and not detected in his mother. CT deficiency should be considered in children, especially males, with mental retardation.
