Abstract
Our results show that supplements of creatine, sodium benzoate (to reduce glycine) and ornithine reduce guanidinoacetate levels in patients with GAMT deficiency (dietary therapy was not evaluated in our study). Normal development with early therapy renders GAMT deficiency an ideal candidate for inclusion in newborn screening panels.
