Treatments for urea cycle enzyme deficiencies summarize deficiencies and the strategies for treatment. Chose one urea cycle enzyme disorder and describe what are the symptoms and how are the symptoms connected to the mutation? How are the disorder discovered and treated? Is there a dietary approach to treatment and, if so, why does it work? How common is the disorder? Are there populations were incidence more prevalent? And What is the prognosis? (include references)

A child exhibits clear symptoms during infections or after vigorous exercise indicating hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) as well as increased levels of lactic acid in the blood, and may initially show as shakiness, irritability or even lethargy. The child has a diet similar to other children, so that is not the problem; however, it is noted that diet supplementation with the amino acid alanine is an effective treatment when symptoms show. Explain at least two possible metabolic rationales including what and how enzymes might be affected and their metabolic and physiological effects producing this individual’s condition.
