Metabolic investigations prevent liver transplantation in two young children with citrullinemia type I. [PDF]
Acute liver failure may be caused by a variety of disorders including inborn errors of metabolism. In those cases, rapid metabolic investigations and adequate treatment may avoid the need for liver transplantation.

Genetic Spectrum of Cholestasis in Tunisia and Diagnostic Yield of Next-Generation Sequencing: Case Series of 70 Patients. [PDF]
Genetic hepatic cholestasis: NGS diagnostic yield. Over a 10‐year period, NGS (gene panel/WES) established a genetic diagnosis in 70% of 66 families with hepatic cholestasis, with a molecular yield of 62%. ABCB11 was the most mutated gene, and PFIC Type 2 was the leading diagnosis, underscoring the critical role of NGS in guiding genetic counseling and

Prenatal diagnosis of citrullinemia type 1; seven families with c.1168G>A mutation of Argininosuccinate synthetase 1 gene in Southwest Iran: A case series [PDF]
Background: Citrullinemia type 1 is an autosomal recessive disease resulting in ammonia accumulation in the blood, and if uncontrolled may progress to coma or death in the early months after birth.

Prevalence of the most common pathogenic variants in three genes for inborn errors of metabolism associated with sudden unexpected death in infancy: a population-based study in south Brazil [PDF]
Citrullinemia type 1 (CTLNI), long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD), and mut0 methylmalonic acidemia (mut0 MMA) are inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) associated with sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI).

gene in ten unrelated middle eastern families with citrullinemia type 1 identifies rare and novel variants [PDF]
Background: Citrullinemia type 1 (CTLN1) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) deficiency. Manifestations vary from the acute neonatal or “classic” form to a milder, late-onset, or “unconventional” form.

Extracellular vesicles from human liver stem cells restore argininosuccinate synthase deficiency
Background Argininosuccinate synthase (ASS)1 is a urea cycle enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of citrulline and aspartate to argininosuccinate. Mutations in the ASS1 gene cause citrullinemia type I, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized ...

Genetic Analysis of Peroxisomal Genes Required for Longevity in a Yeast Model of Citrin Deficiency
Citrin is a liver-specific mitochondrial aspartate−glutamate carrier encoded by SLC25A13. Citrin deficiency caused by SLC25A13 mutation results in carbohydrate toxicity, citrullinemia type II, and fatty liver diseases, the mechanisms of some of ...
