Description

Clinical Use

Serine deficiency disorders1


Serine deficiency disorders are neurometabolic disorders caused by a defect in one of the three synthesizing enzymes of the L-serine biosynthesis pathway. Congenital microcephaly, seizures and severe psychomotor retardation are all symptoms of serine deficiency. As glycine can be synthesized directly from L-serine and vice versa, L-serine deficiency disorders tend to also present with low or low to normal glycine concentrations.


Supplementing the diet with L-serine and glycine can help address potential deficiencies and may improve clinical outcomes.
