Failure of Terminal Ureagenesis: Metabolic and Clinical Features of Arginase Deficiency
The urea cycle detoxifies ammonia by converting it to urea, with arginase-1 catalyzing the final step: hydrolysis of arginine to urea and ornithine. Argininemia (arginase-1 deficiency) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ARG1 that markedly reduce enzyme activity. Loss of arginase function limits nitrogen excretion, leading to progressive hyperargininemia, accumulation of neurotoxic guanidino compounds, and variable hyperammonemia. Unlike pr
