A 5-day-old infant presents to the ED with frequent vomiting, lethargy and failure to gain weight. Respiratory rate is elevated and mild hepatomegaly is evident on physical exam. Blood glucose, AST and ALT levels are in the normal range but ammonia is elevated. This patient’s symptoms are most likely caused by deficient expression of
|
Ornithine transcarbamoylase
|
|
A 2- week-old breast fed infant presents to the ED with frequent vomiting and lethargy. Physical findings include jaundice, cataracts and hepatomegaly. Labs show elevated galactose, elevated direct and indirect bilirubin and prolonged PT. Temperature is normal and there are no signs of respiratory distress. This patient’s symptoms and lab findings are most likely due to
