The incidence of urea cycle disorders [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2013
A key question for urea cycle disorders is their incidence. In the United States two UCDs, argininosuccinic synthetase and lyase deficiency, are currently detected by newborn screening. We used newborn screening data on over 6million births and data from

The challenge of understanding and predicting phenotypic diversity in urea cycle disorders

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2023
The Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium (UCDC) and the European registry and network for Intoxication type Metabolic Diseases (E-IMD) are the worldwide largest databases for individuals with urea cycle disorders (UCDs) comprising longitudinal data from more ...

A longitudinal study of urea cycle disorders

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2014
The Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium (UCDC) is a member of the NIH funded Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network and is performing a longitudinal study of 8 urea cycle disorders (UCDs) with initial enrollment beginning in 2006. The consortium consists of

The Urea Cycle Disorders

Seminars in Neurology, 2014
The urea cycle is the primary nitrogen-disposal pathway in humans. It requires the coordinated function of six enzymes and two mitochondrial transporters to catalyze the conversion of a molecule of ammonia, the α-nitrogen of aspartate, and bicarbonate into urea.

Urea cycle disorders

Seminars in Neonatology, 2002
Most patients with urea cycle disorders who present as neonates, do so with deteriorating feeding, drowsiness and tachypnoea, following a short initial period when they appear well. The plasma ammonia should be measured at the same time as the septic screen in such patients.

Clinical Outcomes of Neonatal Onset Proximal versus Distal Urea Cycle Disorders Do Not Differ

open access: yesJournal of Pediatrics, 2013
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical course and outcome of patients diagnosed with one of 4 neonatal-onset urea cycle disorders (UCDs): deficiency of carbamyl phosphate synthase 1 (CPSD), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTCD), argininosuccinate synthase (ASD),

Treatment of Urea Cycle Disorders

Enzyme, 2017
Recent advances in the treatment of inborn errors of urea synthesis have significantly decreased mortality. Treatment has included combining a high-quality low-protein diet with supplements of deficient metabolites and stimulation of alternate pathways of waste nitrogen excretion.

Urea Cycle Disorders

2016
The urea cycle is the final pathway for removal of surplus nitrogen from the body, the major route in humans for irreversible detoxification of ammonia and a source of arginine.2,3 Patients with adult-onset urea cycle disorders present with clinical symptoms that have a broad differential diagnosis (e.g., protein aversion, inappetence, cyclic vomiting,

UREA CYCLE DISORDERS

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2000
Deficiency of any of the five enzymes in the urea cycle results in the accumulation of ammonia and leads to encephalopathy. Episodes of encephalopathy and associated symptoms are unpredictable and, if untreated, are lethal or produce devastating neurologic sequelae in long-term survivors.
