Preferred Label : Glutathione synthetase deficiency;
Symbol : GSSD;
CISMeF acronym : GSSD;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Pyroglutamic aciduria; 5-oxoprolinuria due to glutathione synthetase deficiency;
Description : Glutathione synthetase deficiency, or 5-oxoprolinuria, is an autosomal recessive disorder
characterized, in its severe form, by massive urinary excretion of 5-oxoproline, metabolic
acidosis, hemolytic anemia, and central nervous system damage. The metabolic defect
results in decreased levels of cellular glutathione, which overstimulates the synthesis
of gamma-glutamylcysteine and its subsequent conversion to 5-oxoproline (Larsson and
Anderson, 2001).;
