http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/16899382http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency (MIM 601240) is an autosomal recessive disorder of creatine biosynthesis. Patients present with mental retardation, extrapyramidal symptoms, autistic-like behavior, epilepsy, cerebral creatine deficiency and increased levels of guanidinoacetate. So far 15 mutations have been reported, including six missense variants that are highly likely to be pathogenic mutations. To prove that mutations in the GAMT gene are responsible for GAMT deficiency we overexpressed the GAMT open reading frame in GAMT-deficient fibroblasts by stable transfection. In addition, HeLa cells were transiently transfected with the same expression vector. In contrast to mock transfectants transfection of primary GAMT-deficient fibroblasts with wild-type GAMT results in the restoration of GAMT activity as measured by GC-MS using stable isotope labeled substrates. Moreover, the expression of the GAMT-EGFP fusion protein was analyzed by Western blot, confirming the presence of GAMT fusion protein, both in the stable as well as in the transient transfectants. Here, we prove that mutations in the GAMT gene are responsible for GAMT deficiency, since overexpression of the GAMT open reading frame restores GAMT activity in GAMT-deficient fibroblasts. Furthermore, the transient transfection of HeLa cells will be important for functional analysis of variants of unknown consequence (i.e., missense mutations)."xsd:string
