                                Glycine encephalopathy, more commonly known as nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), is a rare metabolic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 76,000 newborns and causing a toxic accumulation of glycine in the body. Managing glycine toxicity depends heavily on its root cause, whether it is a chronic genetic issue like NKH or an acute event from medical procedures.
