" /> Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, hyperammonemia due to - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, hyperammonemia due to;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency; Otc deficiency;

Description : Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism of the urea cycle which causes hyperammonemia. The disorder is treatable with supplemental dietary arginine and low protein diet. 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: OTC deficiency, carbamyl phosphate synthetase deficiency (237300), argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency, or citrullinemia (215700), argininosuccinate lyase deficiency (207900), and arginase deficiency (207800).;

Inheritance : X-linked recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ornithine transcarbamylase gene (OTC, 311250.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Hyperammonemia; Low plasma citrulline; Low plasma arginine; High plasma glutamine; High plasma asparagine; High urinary orotic acid; High ornithine; Hepatic ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency;

Prefixed ID : #311250;
