Abstract excerpt
We have found in patients with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency from two Spanish families (A and B), replacement by A of G at the 3'-end of exon 4 of the OTC gene. The same mutation is found in the spf-ash mouse, a rodent model of mild OTC deficiency, causing a neutral R129H mutation and inefficient splicing at the 5' donor site of the exon 4-intron 4 junction, with resultant 4%-7% residual OTC...
