Effects of Delivering Guanidinoacetic Acid or Its Prodrug to the Neural Tissue: Possible Relevance for Creatine Transporter Deficiency [PDF]
The creatine precursor guanidinoacetate (GAA) was used as a dietary supplement in humans with no adverse events. Nevertheless, it has been suggested that GAA is epileptogenic or toxic to the nervous system.

Creatine transporter deficiency: Novel mutations and functional studies [PDF]
X-linked cerebral creatine deficiency (MIM 300036) is caused by deficiency of the creatine transporter encoded by the SLC6A8 gene. Here we report three patients with this condition from Israel.

Epigenetic alterations in creatine transporter deficiency: a new marker for dodecyl creatine ester therapeutic efficacy monitoring [PDF]
Creatine transporter deficiency (CTD) is an X-linked disease caused by mutations in the Slc6a8 gene. The impaired creatine uptake in the brain leads to developmental delays with intellectual disability.

Establishing a core outcome set for creatine transporter deficiency and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency [PDF]
Background Creatine transporter (CTD) and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiencies are rare inborn errors of creatine metabolism, resulting in cerebral creatine deficiency.

The Creatine Transporter Unfolded: A Knotty Premise in the Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndrome [PDF]
Creatine provides cells with high-energy phosphates for the rapid reconstitution of hydrolyzed adenosine triphosphate. The eponymous creatine transporter (CRT1/SLC6A8) belongs to a family of solute carrier 6 (SLC6) proteins.

Case report: Clinical and magnetic resonance spectroscopy presentation of a female severely affected with X-linked creatine transporter deficiency [PDF]
Creatine transporter deficiency is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by a variant in the SLC6A8 gene located on the X chromosome (Xq28). This condition varies in severity with features often including intellectual disabilities, speech delay, autistic ...

Creatine Transporter Deficiency Presenting as Failure to Thrive: A Case Report of a Novel Variant Causing a Treatable but Likely Underdiagnosed Genetic Disorder [PDF]
Cerebral creatine deficiency syndromes (CCDS) are a rare group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) that often present with nonspecific findings including global developmental delay (GDD), intellectual disability (ID), seizures, hypotonia, and ...

Oxidative phosphorylation in creatine transporter deficiency [PDF]
X‐linked creatine transporter deficiency (CTD) is one of the three types of cerebral creatine deficiency disorders. CTD arises from pathogenic variants in the X‐linked gene SLC6A8. We report the first phosphorus (31P) MRS study of patients with CTD, where both phosphocreatine and total creatine concentrations were found to be markedly reduced.
