General Conversation
N-acetylglutamate synthetase (NAGS) deficiency is an uncommon genetic disorder characterized by full or partial absence of the enzyme N-acetylglutamate synthetase (NAGS). NAGS is among 6 enzymes that contribute in the break down and removal of nitrogen from the physical body, a process known as the urea cycle. The absence of the NAGS enzyme results in extreme accumulation of nitrogen, through ammonia, in the blood (hyperammonemia). Excess ammonia, which is a neurotoxin, travels to the main peripheral nervous system through the blood, resulting in the signs and physical searchings for of NAGS deficiency. Signs consist of throwing up, rejection to take, modern lethargy, and also coma. NAGS deficiency is inherited as an autosomal recessive quality.

The urea pattern disorders are a team of unusual conditions affecting the urea cycle, a collection of biochemical procedures where nitrogen is converted right into urea as well as removed from the physical body with the pee. Nitrogen is a waste item of protein metabolic rate. Failing to break down nitrogen lead to the abnormal accumulation of nitrogen, in the form of ammonia, in the blood.
