Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of the hepatic enzyme carbamoyl-phosphate synthase I (CPSI), results in lethal or near-lethal hyperammonaemia. As part of our work on CPSI deficiency we have explored the development of markers for prenatal diagnosis, and the determination of molecular defects resulting in CPSI deficie...
