A large family with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency due to mutation R141Q was ascertained through a propositus who presented with acute neonatal hyperammonemic coma. Of 13 females at risk, 11 were evaluated clinically and had laboratory studies performed. Seven were found to be heterozygous fo

We describe a 4-generation family in which a previously healthy 10-year-old boy died of late-onset ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency. Pedigree analysis and allopurinol loading tests in female relatives were not informative. A missense mutation (A208T) in the OTC gene was detected in the de
## Communicated by Randy Eisensmith Dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) is an enzyme involved in recycling of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4 ), the cofactor of the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Its deficiency is characterized by hyperphenylalaninemia due to the secondary defect of phenylalanine hydro
Primary carnitine deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of fatty acid oxidation caused by defective carnitine transport. This disease is caused by mutations in the novel organic cation transporter OCTN2 (SLC22A5 gene). The disease can present early in life with hypoketotic hypoglycemia or la
