Abstract excerpt
Argininemia is caused by a hereditary deficiency of liver-type arginase (E.C.3.5.3.1) and is characterized by psychomotor retardation and spastic tetraplegia. We examined findings in three Japanese patients with argininemia, by using the PCR, cloning, and sequencing procedures. We found three dif...
