Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of omithine-delta-aminotransferase (OAT) causes gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina with hyperornithinemia (GA; McKusick 258870), a progressive autosomal recessive chorioretinal degeneration leading to early blindness. As residual enzyme activity may vary in different mutations of the OAT gene and explain individual variations in disease progression, a sensitive HPLC modification of the OAT assay...
