Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder and the second most common inborn error of folate metabolism. Features of a severe phenotype include elevated levels of formiminoglutamate (FIGLU) in the urine in response to histidine administration, megaloblastic ...
Clinical Description OMIM In the 2 related Japanese patients reported by Arakawa et al. (1965, 1966), mental retardation was the main clinical feature. The ferric chloride test was positive due to formiminoglutamic acid in the urine. Other features were marked physical ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Hilton et al. (2003) identified mutations in the FTCD gene in 3 patients with glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency (e.g., 606806.0001).
