Is there any relationship between mutation in CPS1 Gene and pregnancy loss?
Abstract
Abstract Background Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) is a liver-specific enzyme with the lowest enzymatic rate, which determines the overall rate of the other reactions in the pathway that converts ammonia to carbamoyl phosphate in the first step of the urea cycle. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency (CPS1D), which usually presents as lethal hyperammonemia, is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease. Case We report a case of a two-day-old female neonate with lethal hyperammonemia. The newborn infant was presented with hyperammonemia (34.7 μg/ml; reference range 1.1–1.9). In Plasma amino acid analysis, there was a significant elevated levels of alanine (3,004 μmol/L; reference range, 236–410 μmol/L), glutamine (2,256 μmol/L; reference range, 20–107 μmol/L), asparagine (126 μmol/L; reference range, 30–69 μmol/L), glutamic acid (356 μmol/L; reference range, 14–192 μmol/L), aspartic acid (123 μmol/L; reference range, 0–24 μmol/L), and lysine (342 μmol/L; reference range, 114–269 μmol/L). We cannot diagnose the urea cycle disorder (UCD) CPS1D properly only based on the quantity of biochemical intermediary metabolites to exclude other UCDs with similar symptoms. Following next generation sequencing determined one homozygous mutation in CPS1 gene and also this mutation was determined in her parents. The identified mutation was c.2758G > C; p.Asp920His, in the 23 exon of CPS1. This novel homozygous mutation had not been reported previously. Conclusion We applied…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
