In human, mutations in creatine transporter (CrT) gene
can damage brain microstructure, and thereby corrupts
its function. A variety of genetic and Magnetic
resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) tools are
available for diagnosis of CrT patients. Despite which
the onset of brain damage in human cannot be predicted.
We independently developed CrT-KO mice for delineating
those molecular and physiological mechanisms, which
remain unexplained in previous MRI-studies on CrT
patients.
