Whole-Exome Sequencing Identified a Novel Compound Heterozygous Genotype in ASL in a Chinese Han Patient with Argininosuccinate Lyase Deficiency

Figure 1

Identification of the ASL mutations in the patient with ASLD and his parents. (a) Pedigree of the family with ASLD. Males are represented by squares, females are represented by circles, and affected members are indicated by filled symbols. (b) Schematic diagram of the full-length ASL protein. The p.Lys69Arg mutation is located in exon 3, whereas p.Arg213Ter is in exon 9. (c) Both the c.206A>G (p.Lys69Arg) and c.637C>T (p.Arg213Ter) mutations in ASL were confirmed in the patient and his parents by Sanger sequencing. (d) Lys 69 is evolutionarily conserved.
