Prospective treatment of urea cycle disorders
We present a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol designed to prevent clinical expression of inborn errors of urea synthesis in the neonatal period, and discuss the long-term developmental outcome of survivors. The families of 32 infants, among 43 identified prenatally as being at risk for a urea cycle disorder, chose to have their infants treated ...

Urea-cycle disorders as a paradigm for inborn errors of hepatocyte metabolism
Urea-cycle disorders (UCDs) are a group of inborn errors of hepatocyte metabolism that are caused by the loss of enzymes involved in the process of transferring nitrogen from ammonia to urea, via the urea cycle (UC).
