Abstract excerpt
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD, OMIM 311250), the most common urea cycle disorder, results in impaired synthesis of citrulline from carbamoyl phosphate and ornithine. Individuals have been identified with OTCD due to a contiguous gene deletion at Xp11.4-p21.1 and unique clinical features, described as the "extended OTCD phenotype". We present a male with neonatal-lethal OTCD due to a 1.87Mb...
