Genetic Therapy Approaches for Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency. [PDF]
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is the most common urea cycle disorder with high unmet needs, as current dietary and medical treatments may not be sufficient to prevent hyperammonemic episodes, which can cause death or neurological sequelae.
