Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Citrin, encoded by SLC25A13 gene, is a mitochondrial solute transporter with a crucial role in urea, nucleotide and protein synthesis. SLC25A13 mutations cause two phenotypes, adult-onset type II citrullinemia and neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD). This study aimed to develop a high resolution melting (HRM) analysis for SLC25A13 mutation scanning and determine the...
