The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.Orpha Number: 33573Disease definitionGamma-glutamyl transpeptidase deficiency is characterized by increased glutathione concentration in the plasma and urine.EpidemiologyIt has been detected in seven patients in five families worldwide.Clinical descriptionFive of the patients also had central nervous system involvement.EtiologyGamma-glutamyl transpeptidase catalyses the first step in the degradation of glutathione. No mutations have been identified in patients with gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase deficiency.Diagnostic methodsThe diagnosis is based on the finding of glutathionuria, elevated levels of glutathione in plasma and decreased activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in nucleated cells.Genetic counselingAs the disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessivetrait, patients should be offered genetic counseling.Management and treatmentNo specific treatment has been proposed or tested.PrognosisThe prognosis of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase deficiency is hard to predict as only seven patients have been described worldwide.Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.
MalaCards based summary : Glutathionuria, also known as gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase deficiency, is related to gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase deficiency, hemolytic anemia due to and infertility. An important gene associated with Glutathionuria is GGT1 (Gamma-Glutamyltransferase 1). Affiliated tissues include liver, and related phenotypes are intellectual disability and abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 75 Glutathionuria: Autosomal recessive disease.
