3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency is a disorder of L-serine biosynthesis that is characterized by congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and seizures.The disorder is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation in the gene encoding phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase on chromosome 1p12. Defects in the gene lead to a decrease of Glycine and Serine.

GABA(γ-aminobutyric acid) is a non-protein amino acid that can be accumulated via permease-mediated uptake by Uga4p, Put4p, and Gap1p. GABA can also be produced via glutamate degradation by the glutamate decarboxylase, this variant of the pathway includes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent 4-aminobutyrate transaminase and an NAD+-dependent dehydrogenase. This combination of enzymes has been documented in bacteria and animals and in some plants. Regarding the hydrogenase, NAD-specific variants have been studied from many bacteria, plant and animals.
Putrescine is an organic chemical produced when amino acids are broken down in organsisms, both living and dead. It can be used as a carbon and nitrogen source in E. coli, and is broken down into gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In this pathway, GABA from putrescine degradation reacts with oxoglutaric acid in a reversible reaction catalyzed by 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase. This reaction forms succinic acid semialdehyde, as well as L-glutamic acid as a byproduct. Succinic acid semialdehyde is then converted to succinic acid in a reaction catalyzed by succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, using NAD as a cofactor. Succinic acid can then be used by the bacteria in the TCA cycle.

4-Hydroxybutyric Aciduria/Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SSADH; Gamma-hydroxybutyric acidemia) inhibits the formation of succinate from GABA. This deficiency results in urinary excretion of 4-hydroxybutyric acid. In vivo proton MR also indicates elevated GABA levels as compared with an age-matched control. Symptoms include ataxia, chorea or athetosis, motor retardation, seizures, macrocephaly and delayed or abnormal speech development.
