Clinical Information

Disorders of creatine synthesis (guanidinoacetate methyltransferase [GAMT], L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferases [AGAT], and creatine transporter deficiency [CTD]) are collectively described as creatine deficiency syndromes (CDS). GAMT and AGAT deficiencies are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, while CTD is X-linked. All 3 disorders result in a depletion of cerebral creatine and typically present with global developmental delays, intellectual disability, and severe speech delay. Affected patients may have abnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings and exhibit cerebral creatine deficiency in brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Patients with GAMT and male patients with CTD develop seizures, behavioral problems, and autistic features and may have abnormal movements. Female carriers for CTD can be asymptomatic or exhibit features similar to affected male patients, such as intellectual disability, behavioral problems, and seizures.

Diagnosis of creatine synthesis disorders relies on measurement of guanidinoacetate (GAA), creatine (Cr), and creatinine (Crn) in serum and urine. The profiles are specific for each clinical entity. In serum, patients with GAMT deficiency typically exhibit very elevated GAA, low Cr, and normal to low Crn. Patients with AGAT deficiency typically exhibit low to normal GAA, low Cr, and normal to low Crn. Patients with CTD may have normal or abnormal serum levels of GAA, Cr and Crn, and measurement of these analytes in urine is also useful for diagnosis in male patients (characteristic findings are elevated Cr, normal to low Crn, and an elevated Cr:Crn ratio in urine). The only consistently reliable method for diagnosis of CTD in female patients is molecular analysis of the SLC6A8 gene. The diagnosis of GAMT and AGAT and CTD can be confirmed by molecular analysis of GAMT and GATM and SLC6A8.

Treatment with oral supplementation of creatine monohydrate is available and effective for the AGAT and GAMT deficiencies. Patients with GAMT deficiency may also be treated with supplemental ornithine and dietary arginine restriction.

Early treatment has been reported to prevent disease manifestations in affected but presymptomatic newborn siblings of individuals with GAMT or AGAT deficiencies.

Interpretation

Reports include concentrations of guanidinoacetate, creatine, and creatinine, and the calculated analyte ratios. When no significant abnormalities are detected, a simple descriptive interpretation is provided. When abnormal results are detected, a detailed interpretation is given. This interpretation includes an overview of the results and their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, elements of differential diagnosis, and recommendations for additional biochemical testing.

Method Description

A serum sample is combined with stable isotope-labeled internal standards and acetonitrile. After centrifugation, an aliquot of this diluted sample is analyzed by injection onto liquid chromatography columns that separate the analytes from the bulk of the stable isotope dilution in the positive electrospray selected reaction monitoring mode using the Applied Biosystems API 3200 liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry system with Analyst software.(Bodamer OA, Bloesch SM, Gregg AR, Stockler-Ipsiroglue S, O'Brien WEO.
