Svensk definition
En grupp sjukdomstillstånd som hänger samman med brist på enzymet argininosuccinatsyntas, vilken leder till förhöjd serumnivå av citrullin. Hos nyfödda är de kliniska yttringarna letargi, lågt blodtry ck och kramper. Lindrigare former förekommer också. Hos barn och vuxna kan tillståndet yttra sig som återkommande perioder av svaghet, leetargi, ataxi, beteendeförändringar och dysartri.
Engelsk definition
A group of diseases related to a deficiency of the enzyme ARGININOSUCCINATE SYNTHASE which causes an elevation of serum levels of CITRULLINE. In neonates, clinical manifestations include lethargy, hypotonia, and SEIZURES. Milder forms also occur. Childhood and adult forms may present with recurrent episodes of intermittent weakness, lethargy, ATAXIA, behavioral changes, and DYSARTHRIA. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p49)
