Functional Profiling of 2,193 <i>ASS1</i> Missense Variants: Insights into Variant Pathogenicity and Epistatic Interactions in Citrullinemia Type I
2025-09-20
Abstract excerpt
Sequence variants in the urea cycle gene argininosuccinate synthase ( ASS1 ) cause Citrullinemia type 1 (CTLN1), a rare autosomal recessive disease. Mechanistically, reduction in argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) enzyme activity impairs the urea cycle, leading to an accumulation of citrulline and neurotoxic ammonia. Disease severity varies according to the degree of enzyme impairment, ranging from severe neonata...
