Nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare inherited disease caused by a defect of the glycine cleavage enzyme.1 Especially in the neonatal type, neurological symptoms such as muscular hypotonia, seizures, respiratory distress, and lethargy develop rapidly, and the prognosis is unfavorable.1 Elevation of glycine in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is thought to be responsible for these symptoms. However, management is quite difficult, because it is not well understood how elevation of glycine causes these symptoms. Lowering of the glycine level in CSF with sodium benzoate is not enough to avoid severe psychomotor and mental retardation. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, which is one of the excitatory amino acid receptors, has a glycine binding site.2

Recently, statistical dependence measures such as mutual information and kernelized covariance have been successfully applied to clustering. In this paper, we follow this line of research and propose a novel dependence-maximization clustering method based on least-squares mutual information, which is an estimator of a squared-loss variant of mutual information. A notable advantage of the proposed method over existing approaches is that hyperparameters such as kernel parameters and regularization parameters can be objectively optimized based on cross-validation. Thus, subjective manual-tuning of hyperparameters is not necessary in the proposed method, which is a highly useful property in unsupervised clustering scenarios. Through experiments, we illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.

Nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of glycine metabolism. In this article, I will present the case of baby girl S. who presented to the emergency room on Day 4 of life with severe lethargy, seizures, and respiratory depression requiring mechanical ventilation. A diagnosis of NKH was made secondary to elevated plasma and cerebrospinal fluid glycine concentrations. I will review the pathophysiology of NKH, methods of diagnosis, and the differential diagnosis. There are a variety of different pharmacologic and alternative therapies for NKH. Despite these treatments, the prognosis for infants with NKH is poor, with severe neurologic impairment, intractable seizures, and death common before 5 years of age. I will address the role of the advanced practice nurse in caring for an infant with NKH including clinical, educational, and research implications.
