Abstract

Adult onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) is an autosomal recessive disease accompanied with hyperammonemia and a sudden onset of psychiatric disorders. We demonstrated three male patients with CTLN2 having a liver histology of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Patients with NASH were analyzed for the causative gene of CTLN2, SLC25A13 and discussed.
