Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency, Hyperammonemia Due To

Description

Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism of the urea cycle which causes hyperammonemia. The disorder is treatable with supplemental dietary arginine and low protein diet.Urea cycle disorders are characterized by the triad of hyperammonemia, encephalopathy, and respiratory alkalosis. Five disorders involving different defects in the biosynthesis of the enzymes of the urea cycle have been described: OTC deficiency, carbamyl phosphate synthetase deficiency (OMIM ), argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency, or citrullinemia (OMIM ), argininosuccinate lyase deficiency (OMIM ), and arginase deficiency (OMIM ).
