NCIt definition : Human GLDC wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p24.1 and is approximately
113 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating),
mitochondrial protein, plays a role in the degradation of glycine. Mutations in the
gene are associated with glycine encephalopathy 1.;
