Background Guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase (GAMT) is an enzyme member of the transferase protein family that functions in creatine synthesis. Creatine is a naturally occurring compound that plays a role in maintaining ATP levels within metabolically active tissues such as muscle and brain. While creatine is mainly synthesized in the kidneys and liver, it is also endogenously synthesized in the brain (1,2). Creatine synthesis occurs through the conversion of arginine and glycine to guanidinoacetate (GAA) by arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT). GAA is then methylated by GAMT, forming creatine (3). In the brain, this system is essential to maintaining the development and function of the central nervous system, with deficiency in either GAMT or AGAT leading to neurological consequences. GAMT deficiency is a disorder caused by mutations in the gene, which disrupts the creatine synthesis pathway, leading to developmental delays, varying intellectual disability, and seizure disorders (4,5).
