Descriptor hiperargininemia
Entry term(s) argininemia
enfermedad por deficiencia de arginasa
Scope note: Trastorno autosómico recesivo infrecuente del ciclo de la urea. Está producido por una deficiencia en la enzima hepática ARGINASA. La arginina está elevada en sangre y en el líquido cefalorraquídeo, y puede producirse HIPERAMONIEMIA periódica. El inicio de la enfermedad ocurre generalmente en el lactante o al comienzo de la niñez. Las manifestaciones clínicas comprenden convulsiones, microcefalia, retraso mental progresivo, hipotonía, ataxia, diplejía espástica y cuadriparesia.

Scope note: A rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle. It is caused by a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme ARGINASE. Arginine is elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and periodic HYPERAMMONEMIA may occur. Disease onset is usually in infancy or early childhood. Clinical manifestations include seizures, microcephaly, progressive mental impairment, hypotonia, ataxia, spastic diplegia, and quadriparesis.
