Two siblings with hyperornithinemia, hyperammonemia, and homocitrullinuria are reported. The clinical picture included protein intolerance, mental retardation, seizures, and stuporous episodes. One patient had cerebellar ataxia, myoclonus, convulsive seizure, and muscular weakness in both legs. Isolated liver mitochondria in the patient revealed that ornithine transport and citrulline synthesis were decreased, but urea cycle enzymes and ornithine aminotransferase were normal. Ornithine metabolism was decreased in cultured skin fibroblasts.
