Mutations in the OTC gene in 50 Japanese families with OTC deficiency were reviewed in relation to the phenotype of the patients and predicted structure of the mutant enzyme. Similar to other X-linked diseases, mutant alleles in OTC deficiency are highly heterogeneous. Mutations observed in male pat
A Leu148Phe substitution of the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene was identified in a 2-year-old girl with OTC deficiency (14% of control). Her two elder sisters died in childhood of hyperammonemia, and the patient also died of OTC deficiency. Enzyme activity in Cos1 cells transfected by the mut
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
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
