Abstract

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency (CPS1D) is a rare autosomal recessive urea cycle disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. CPS1D is caused by mutations in the CPS1 gene on chromosome 2q35. Based on the age of onset, there are two phenotypes: the neonatal type and the delayed-onset type. The severity of clinical manifestation depends on the degree of CPS1 residual enzymatic activity, and can result in hyperammonemia and neurological dysfunction. We report a case of CPS1D in a neonate who developed vomiting, decreased consciousness and hyperammonemia at 25th day after birth. She showed excellent response to treatment including hydration, ammonia-lowering drugs and a low-protein diet without hemodialysis. Her growth, development and neurological outcomes were fair at the last follow-up at 17 months of age.

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) 결핍은 고암모니아혈증을 특징으로 하는 요소 회로 이상 질환 중 하나로 상염색체 열성으로 유전되며 2q35 염색체에 존재하는 CPS1 유전자 변이로 인해 발생된다. CPS1 결핍은 발병 연령에 따라 신생아형과 신생아기 이후에 발생하는 지연형으로 나뉜다. CPS1 결핍의 임상 양상의 중증도는 주로 효소 활성 결핍의 정도에 따라 다를 수 있으며, 고암모니아혈증으로 신경 기능 이상 및 장애를 초래하게 된다. 본 증례는 생후 25일 즈음 구토, 의식 저하, 고암모니아혈증을 보여 시행한 생화학적, 분자유전학적 검사(targeted gene panel sequencing)를 통해 CPS1 결핍을 진단하였다. 수액 치료, 관장, 소듐 벤조에이트 치료로 고암모니아혈증 및 임상 양상 호전 보여 응급 투석을 시행하지 않았으며 생후 17개월까지 관찰한 결과 고암모니아혈증의 재발없이 성장과 발달 및 신경학적 예후가 좋음을 보고하는 바이다.
