High Glycine, Different Diagnoses
from JIMD Podcasts · host Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease
A raised glycine level can point to a surprisingly broad range of conditions. In this episode, James Nurse is joined by Arthavan Selvanathan and Curtis Coughlin to discuss their review, The History and Nosology of the Glycine Disorders: A Framework for Clinicians. Together they explore why not all hyperglycinaemia is nonketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH), how our understanding of glycine disorders has evolved, and how clinicians can navigate the differential diagnosis of elevated glycine in practice. From classic and attenuated NKH to lipoate deficiency syndromes, pyridoxine-related disorders, and important phenocopies such as valproate exposure, this episode provides a practical framework for approaching high glycine levels.
