Urea Cycle Disorders (UCDs) Overview

Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are genetic conditions characterized by deficiencies in the enzymes and transport molecules responsible for eliminating excess ammonia generated during the breakdown of proteins within cells. The etiology of UCDs is intricate, involving multiple proteins and two distinct subcellular compartments: the mitochondrial matrix and cytoplasm. Hyperammonemia, the elevated presence of ammonia in the bloodstream, is a pivotal factor in the development of UCDs and significantly contributes to central nervous system (CNS) toxicity. The primary clinical manifestations are predominantly a result of the pronounced hyperammonemia's impact on the body, notably impairing liver function (the primary site for urea cycle activity) and causing alterations in mental status that can lead to a comatose state. A key indicator for UCDs is hyperammonemia, defined as ammonia levels exceeding 150 micromolar for neonates and 100 micromolar for infants. This condition is identified in the absence of a high anion gap and alongside normal plasma glucose levels. Additionally, assessing plasma amino acid and plasma lactic acid levels is beneficial when metabolic acidosis is present. Laboratory findings characteristic of UCDs include (a) elevated levels of plasma glutamine and alanine, (b) reduced plasma arginine levels (except for arginase deficiency), and (c) either high or low plasma citrulline levels.

• According to data from Thelansis disease modeling and results from literature reviews, surveys, and registry analyses, the estimated incidence of UCDs is approximately 1 in 14,000 newborns.
