Sarcosine dehydrogenase deficiency

Synonyms: Hypersarcosinemia; SAR deficiency; SARCOSINE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX DEFICIENCY; SARD DEFICIENCY; Sarcosin dehydrogenase complex, deficiency of; Sarcosinemia

Summary

Sarcosinemia is characterized by an increased concentration of sarcosine in plasma and an increased excretion of sarcosine in urine. Sarcosine (N-methylglycine) is enzymatically formed from dimethylglycine by dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.2) and converted to glycine by sarcosine dehydrogenase (SARDH; 604455; EC 1.5.99.1). Some reports have associated sarcosinemia with mental retardation and neurologic problems, but the disorder is most likely benign and unrelated to significant clinical problems (summary by Scott, 2001).
