| description | Measurements of guanidinoacetate (GAA) and creatine (Cr) in urine are performed for biochemical diagnosis of guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency, an inherited metabolic disorder of creatine metabolism that is characterized by mental retardation, developmental delay or regression, mental retardation, expressive and cognitive speech delay, and intractable seizures and movement disturbances.[OMIM: 612736] [PMID: 15234334] | ||||||||
