Footnotes

  • CIT1 = Citrullinemia type 1
  • Build-up in the body of citrulline and ultimately ammonia can begin during the newborn period or later in infancy. Without treatment, seizures, coma, brain damage and death can result. With early diagnosis and treatment, normal development is possible. Treatment includes a low-protein diet, medications to rid the body of amino groups to prevent ammonia build-up, and nutritional supplements.
