Four novel mutations are identified in the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene, in four patients with OTC deficiency (an X-linked disorder). The mutations represent three different categories: missense (Ile159Thr and Ala209Val), nonsense (Tyr167Stop), and causing inefficient splicing (G---~A in th
Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, a X-linked disorder, is the most frequent inborn error of the urea cycle. Point mutations and small deletions/insertions in the OTC gene are responsible for the majority of the cases and have a "private"character with little recurrence. We report on eleve
A new simple, non-invasive method using ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) mRNA isolated from peripheral blood (PBL) or lymphoblastoid cell lines has been performed. This approach based on reverse transcription and nested PCR to obtain a double strand PBL OTC cDNA allowed the identification of genetic
The urea cycle plays key roles to prevent the accumulation of toxic nitrogenous compound and synthesize arginine de novo. Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is the most common inborn error of urea cycle, which is inherited in an X-linked manner. This study was undertaken to characterize mol
A deletion of at least 11.5 cM in the paternal X chromosome mapping between microsatellites DXS989 and DXS1003 and encompassing the genes for ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) and dystrophin, was associated with the loss of band Xp21 in a female patient w
