Abstract excerpt
Prenatal diagnosis for non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH) was performed by enzymatic analysis of chorionic villus samples in 28 families and by DNA analysis in two families. In 26 families, enzymatic analysis of the glycine cleavage multi-enzyme system (GCS) yielded an unambiguous diagnosis; inconclusive results in two families were due to borderline GCS activity. We analysed a second chorionic sample in these...
