Molecular defects in human carbamoy phosphate synthetase I: mutational spectrum, diagnostic and protein structure considerations
30 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI) results in hyperammonemia ranging from neonatally lethal to environmentally induced adult-onset disease. Over 24 years, analysis of tissue and DNA samples from 205 unrelated individuals diagnosed with CPSI deficiency (CPSID) detected 192 unique CPS1 gene changes, of which 130 are reported here for the first time. Pooled with the already reported mutations,...
