A novel mutation in the SLC25A15 gene in a Turkish patient with HHH syndrome: Functional analysis of the mutant protein
22 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
The hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by the functional deficiency of the mitochondrial ornithine transporter 1 (ORC1). ORC1 is encoded by the SLC25A15 gene and catalyzes the transport of cytosolic ornithine into mitochondria in exchange for citrulline. Although the age of onset and the severity of the symptoms vary widely, the disease...
