Abstract
Argininosuccinic aciduria is an hereditary disorder of the urea cycle in which argininosuccinase (As; EC: 4.3.2.1.) is defective or absent. The defect may be detected by the finding of the over-excretion of argininosuccinic acid (ASA) and of negligible levels of enzyme activity in erythrocyte lysates.
