Summary
Enzymatic activities and kinetics of liver ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) were studied in sixteen human male infants with an OTC mutation. In the same liver fragments, cross reacting material (CRM) was measured with anti-OTC monospecific antibody. These studies allow us to describe five groups of mutations.
