Abbreviations: AD, autosomal dominant; AR, autosomal recessive; ASD, autism spectrum disorder; ID, intellectual disability; XL, X linked.
InheritanceXL
OMIMCreatine deficiency syndrome, X-linked (300352)
DescriptionCreatine deficiency syndrome; non-syndromic ID. Brain creatine deficiency can be caused by mutation in the creatine transporter gene SLC6A8, or by defects in the biosynthesis of creatine (GAMT and GATM genes); mutations in all three genes have been reported in ASD; ASD/autistic features appear to be frequent in creatine deficiency syndromes
Reference(s)12210795; 17101918; 16601898; 19165619; 19319661;
LevelLevel 3: The gene has been reported in more than one family with ASD/autistic features, but the disorder hasn't been a generally acknowledged ASD related disorder.
