Find a Diagnostic Genetic Testing Lab

Below is a table listing of laboratories conducting genetic tests that include some or all three Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes (CCDS) genes in their product listings.

  • CTD gene: SLC6A8
  • GAMT gene: GAMT
  • AGAT gene: GATM

Some labs have also listed CCDS biochemical tests (urine, plasma).

  • Biochemical diagnosis is possible by measuring guanidinoacetate (GAA), creatine (Cr), and creatinine (Crn) in plasma and urine.

The biochemical profiles are specific for each clinical entity.
- AGAT patients typically exhibit normal to low Cr, low GAA, and normal to low Crn.
- GAMT patients typically exhibit normal to low Cr, very elevated GAA, and low Crn.
- In comparison, elevated Cr, normal GAA, normal to low Crn, and an elevated Cr:Crn ratio characterize CTD patients.


Currently, laboratory listings for CCDS in ScreenCreatine.org include labs located in the Canada, Estonia, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
If your lab conducts molecular and/or biochemical investigations for any of the CCDS, please contact us and we will update this listing.
