Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Sarcosinemia is characterized by an increased concentration of sarcosine in plasma and an increased excretion of sarcosine in urine. Sarcosine (N-methylglycine) is enzymatically formed from dimethylglycine by dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.2) and converted to glycine by sarcosine dehydrogenase ...
Clinical Description OMIM Gerritsen and Waisman (1966) found hypersarcosinemia and sarcosinuria in brother and sister with mild mental retardation and few other abnormalities. Abnormal increases in blood and urine sarcosine occurred in 2 other sibs, the mother, a maternal aunt, and ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 4 individuals from 3 consanguineous Israeli Arab families and 3 individuals from 3 French families who had elevated levels of sarcosine in blood and urine, Bar-joseph et al. (2012) sequenced the SARDH gene and identified homozygous or ...
Population genetics OMIM Levy et al. (1984) found that the incidence of sarcosinemia identified by newborn screening in Massachusetts was 1/350,000.

In the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec province, De Braekeleer (1991) estimated the prevalence at birth of sarcosinemia to ...
