NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵³ The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.Orpha Number: 408Disease definitionIsolated glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is a very rare X-linked disorder of glycerol metabolism characterized biochemically by elevated plasma and urine glycerol levels, and clinically by variable neurometabolic manifestations, depending on the age of onset, and varying from a life-threatening childhood metabolic crisis to an asymptomatic adult form (infantile GKD, juvenile GKD, and adult GKD (see these terms)).Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.

MalaCards based summary : Glycerol Kinase Deficiency, also known as hyperglycerolemia, is related to chromosome xp21 deletion syndrome and adrenal hypoplasia, congenital, and has symptoms including seizures An important gene associated with Glycerol Kinase Deficiency is GK (Glycerol Kinase), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Glycerolipid metabolism and PPAR signaling pathway. Affiliated tissues include eye, liver and skeletal muscle, and related phenotypes are intellectual disability and seizures

Disease Ontology : ¹² An inherited metabolic disorder characterized_by wide range of phenotypic variability; patients can have severe metabolic and CNS abnormalities, while others possess hyperglycerolemia and glyceroluria with no other apparent phenotype and that has material basis in mutation in the GK gene on chromosome Xp21.

OMIM : ⁵⁷ Francke et al. (1987) noted that there are 3 clinically distinct forms of glycerol kinase deficiency: infantile, juvenile, and adult. The infantile form is associated with severe developmental delay, and those with the adult form have no symptoms and are often detected fortuitously. The infantile form of GK deficiency, or the 'GK complex,' results from the Xp21 contiguous gene deletion syndrome (300679) with congenital adrenal hypoplasia (300200) and/or Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD; 310200), whereas the juvenile and adult forms have isolated GK deficiency (Walker et al., 1996).

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁵ Glycerol kinase deficiency: A metabolic disorder manifesting as 3 clinically distinct forms: infantile, juvenile, and adult. The infantile form is the most severe and is associated with severe developmental delay and adrenal insufficiency. Patients with the adult form have no symptoms and are often detected fortuitously. GKD results in hyperglycerolemia, a condition characterized by the accumulation of glycerol in the blood and urine.
