Citrullinemia, Type Ii, Adult-onset; Ctln2

Description

Adult-onset type II citrullinemia is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized clinically by the sudden onset of various neuropsychologic symptoms such as disorientation, abnormal behavior, convulsions, and coma due to hyperammonemia. In some cases, rapid progression can lead to brain edema and death if liver transplantation is not possible. Some patients may present with nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis or may develop hepatic fibrosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with this disorder have a natural aversion to carbohydrates and favor protein, which is in contrast to protein aversion usually observed in patients with urea cycle defects (summary by Komatsu et al., 2008).
