ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate potential mutation of the ASS1 gene in a male infant with acute citrullinemia type I.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral blood samples of the family members. Mutation analysis of the 14 ASS1 exons was carried out by PCR and direct DNA sequencing.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A homozygous missense mutation of c.970G>A located in exon 13, which results in p.G324S, was identified in the child. Sequencing of the parents showed a heterozygous status for the same mutation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A missense mutation of c.970G>A in the ASS1 gene is responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease in the infant.</p>
