Descriptor Spanish: Enfermedad por Deficiencia de Ornitina Carbamoiltransferasa
Descriptor enfermedad por deficiencia de ornitina carbamoiltransferasa
Entry term(s) enfermedad por deficiencia de ornitina transcarbamilasa
Scope note: Trastorno hereditario del ciclo de la urea asociado a deficiencia de la enzima ORNITINA CARBAMOILTRANSFERASA, transmitido como rasgo ligado al sexo y que se caracteriza por elevación de aminoácidos y de amoníaco en el suero. Las características clínicas más importantes aparecen en los varones y comprenden convulsiones, alteraciones de la conducta, vómitos episódicos, letargia y coma.

Scope note: An inherited urea cycle disorder associated with deficiency of the enzyme ORNITHINE CARBAMOYLTRANSFERASE, transmitted as an X-linked trait and featuring elevations of amino acids and ammonia in the serum. Clinical features, which are more prominent in males, include seizures, behavioral alterations, episodic vomiting, lethargy, and coma. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp49-50)
