D-glycerate dehydrogenase deficiency or PHGDH is a rare autosomal metabolic disease where the young patient is unable to produce an enzyme necessary to convert 3-phosphoglycerate into 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate, which is the only way for humans to synthesize serine.This disorder is called Neu-Laxova syndrome in neonates.
