Genes affected
GLDC (HGNC:4313): (glycine decarboxylase) Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 17 uncertain in NM_000170.3
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.972
PP5
Variant 9-6533100-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-6533100-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 550058.
