NCIt synonyms : GLYA; Glycine Auxotroph A, Human Complement for Hamster Gene; HEL-S-51e; Serine Hydroxymethylase Gene; Threonine Aldolase Gene; GLY A ; Serine Aldolase Gene; NEDCASB; SHMT; Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (Mitochondrial) Gene; mSHMT; Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase 2 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human SHMT2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q13.3 and is approximately
5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes serine hydroxymethyltransferase, mitochondrial
protein, plays a role in the metabolism of serine, tetrahydrofolate, glycine and thymidylate.
Mutations in the gene are associated with neurodevelopmental disorder with cardiomyopathy,
spasticity, and brain abnormalities.;
