Carbonic Anhydrase Va Deficiency, Hyperammonemia Due To; Ca5ad

Description

Carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism characterized clinically by acute onset of encephalopathy in infancy or early childhood. Biochemical evaluation shows multiple metabolic abnormalities, including metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis. Other abnormalities include hypoglycemia, increased serum lactate and alanine, and evidence of impaired provision of bicarbonate to essential mitochondrial enzymes. Apart from episodic acute events in early childhood, the disorder shows a relatively benign course. Treatment with carglumic acid can result in neurologic improvement (summary by van Karnebeek et al., 2014).
