Hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome

HHH syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of protein metabolism. The deficient mitochondrial ornithin transporter causes an accumulation of ornithin and ammonia. Hyperammonemia results in disturbances of the cerebral development and clotting abnormalities.
