Preferred Label : Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency, hyperammonemia due to;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Cps I deficiency; Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency;
Description : Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error
of metabolism of the urea cycle which causes hyperammonemia. There are 2 main forms:
a lethal neonatal type and a less severe, delayed-onset type (summary by Klaus et
al., 2009). Urea cycle disorders are characterized by the triad of hyperammonemia,
encephalopathy, and respiratory alkalosis. Five disorders involving different defects
in the biosynthesis of the enzymes of the urea cycle have been described: ornithine
transcarbamylase deficiency (311250), carbamyl phosphate synthetase deficiency, argininosuccinate
synthetase deficiency, or citrullinemia (215700), argininosuccinate lyase deficiency
(207900), and arginase deficiency (207800).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the carbamoylphosphate synthetase I gene (CPS1, 608307.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hyperammonemia; Low plasma citrulline; Low plasma arginine; Low urinary orotic acid; Hepatic carbamoylphosphate synthetase I deficiency;
