Mutations and polymorphisms in the human ornithine transcarbamylase gene.

Abstract excerpt

Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, an X-linked, semidominant disorder, is the most common inherited defect in ureagenesis resulting in hyperammonemia. The previous two mutation updates for the OTC gene were published in 1993 and 1995 and included 36 and 30 mutations respectively. This comprehensive update contains a compilation of 244 mutations including 13 polymorphisms. Twenty-four of the mutations...
