Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Classical citrullinemia (CTLN1) is an inborn error of the urea cycle caused by reduced/abolished activity of argininosuccinate synthetase due to mutations in the ASS1 gene. To determine the pathogenicity of novel variants detected in patients is often a huge challenge in molecular diagnosis. The purpose of our study was to characterize novel ASS1 gene mutations identified in CTLN1 patients. METHODS:...
