Hyperornithinemia-hyperammonia-hyperisocitrullinuria syndrome:A case report and literature review
Hyperornithinemia-hyperammonia-hypercitrullinuria syndrome(HHH syndrome)is a rare autosomal recessive urea cycle disorder.A patient with HHH syndrome was admitted to the hospital with se-vere picky eating,anorexia of high-protein foods and exercise regression.Multiple laboratory tests showed high transaminase,elevated blood ammonia and abnormal coagulation function.The whole exon gene test showed that the child carried a homozygous mutation of SLC25A15 gene c.521C>G(p.S174x).Both parents carried the heterozygous mutation of the gene,and the child improved after liver transplantation.For these patients,early he-maturia genetic metabolism and gene detection are recommended to save lives and improve quality of life.
