Official Title: Th1, Th2, Th17 Phenotype in Urea Cycle Disorders
Brief Summary:
Infection-related hyperammonemia in patients with urea cycle disorders is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The relationship between immune system cells and the metabolic pathways used by these cells and inborn errors of metabolism is still under investigation. Current studies are generally based on experiments in mice. Our goal was to study specific T cell subsets to understand the effects of the urea cycle on T cells.We collected blood samples from patients with lysinuric protein intolerance and…
