We analyzed DNA from 13 males with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency for gene deletions and known point mutations using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), allelle-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization, and Southern blotting with full-length OTC cDNA and exon-specific probes. Three patients were found to have deletions: one was missing the whole OTC gene; a second patient had a deletion of both...
