Abstract excerpt
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is an X-linked inborn error caused by loss of function variants in the OTC gene typically associated with severe neonatal hyperammonemia. Rare examples of late-onset OTCD have also been described. Here, we describe an OTC promoter variant, c.-106C>A, in a conserved HNF4a binding site, identified in two male siblings in Family 1 whose first and only recognized episodes...
