Gene ID
GLS

Disease

Name
Glutaminase deficiency
Inheritance
Autosomal recessive
Description
Glutaminase deficiency is characterized by refractory seizures, respiratory failure, brain abnormalities and death in the neonatal period, though milder cases with spastic ataxia-dysarthria have also been reported. This condition is caused by mutations in the glutaminase (GLS) gene1 .
Prevalence
As of 2019, only 7 cases total of GLS deficiency, including non-repeat. Identified unrelated patients have been Canadian2 , Kurdish (Turkey)3 , and US-American (Northern European/Native American descent3 .
Age of OnsetYears2  4
Age of Onset Details
Early childhood (2-4)2,3 .

Locus

Details
Pathogenic range from 3 unrelated probands; benign range inferred from mutation data4 . Disease cases can be caused by homozygosity or compund heterozygotes5 .
Mechanism
LoF
Change in histone modification decreases transcription5 .
