Abstract excerpt
Citrullinaemia is an inborn error of metabolism resulting from a deficiency of argininosuccinate synthetase. Previous studies of RNA of argininosuccinate synthetase of citrullinaemia patients using S1 nuclease analysis have identified a class of so-called RNA-negative alleles in which no stable mRNA can be detected. To investigate the nature of mutation responsible for such a phenotype, a compound heterozygous...
