glycine encephalopathy — Definition
Glisin ensefalopatisi / glycine encephalopathy
Glysine encephalopathy is a rare genetic metabolic disease that occurs as a result of excessive accumulation of amino acid called glycine in the body. This condition occurs due to the lack of enzymes that play role in fragmentation of glycine and leads to severe neurological findings especially during newborn. The disease manifests itself with symptoms such as hypotonia ( reduction in the male tone), seizures, respiratory strength and developmental backrest. In treatment, the levels of glycine with drugs such as sodium benzoate are tried to be reduced, but the disease is often transmitted and severely diluted.
