Abstract
Argininemia is a rare hereditary disease due to a deficiency of hepatic arginase, which is the last enzyme of the urea cycle and hydrolyzes arginine to ornithine and urea. Herein we report a patient with arginase I (ARG1) deficiency who presented with recurrent nonconvulsive status epilepticus and liver failure. A novel homozygous frameshift mutation c.703_707delGGACTinsAGACTGGACC (p.G235Rfs*20) was detected.Entities:
