Functional characterization of missense variants in the creatine transporter gene (SLC6A8): improved diagnostic application
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Creatine transporter deficiency is an X-linked mental retardation disorder caused by mutations in the creatine transporter gene (SLC6A8). So far, 20 mutations in the SLC6A8 gene have been described. We have developed a diagnostic assay to test creatine uptake in fibroblasts. Additionally, we expanded the assay to characterize novel SLC6A8 missense variants. A total of 13 variants were introduced in the SLC6A8...
