A mouse model for creatine transporter deficiency reveals early onset cognitive impairment and neuropathology associated with brain aging

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the creatine (Cr) transporter (CrT) gene lead to cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome-1 (CCDS1), an X-linked metabolic disorder characterized by cerebral Cr deficiency causing intellectual disability, seizures, movement and autistic-like behavioural disturbances, language and speech impairment.
