Abstract excerpt
We studied two unrelated male probands with mild ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) (E.C.2.1.3.3) deficiency presenting a similar clinical course. Previous analyses of their liver OTCs also revealed similar properties. To identify the underlying molecular defects, we first cloned the entire coding region of the OTC gene from one proband and found a single base-substitution (C to T) leading to the substitution of...
