MSH: Rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle which leads to the accumulation of argininosuccinic acid in body fluids and severe HYPERAMMONEMIA. Clinical features of the neonatal onset of the disorder include poor feeding, vomiting, lethargy, seizures, tachypnea, coma, and death. Later onset results in milder set of clinical features including vomiting, failure to thrive, irritability, behavioral problems, or psychomotor retardation. Mutations in the ARGININOSUCCINATE LYASE gene cause the disorder.,NCI: A genetic inherited disorder caused by mutations in the ASL gene. It is characterized by accumulation of ammonia in the blood. It presents with lethargy in the first few days of life, accompanied by developmental delay and mental retardation.,NCI: A rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by the defective cleavage of argininosuccinate. It results in the accumulation of argininosuccinate in the tissues and hyperammonemia. Signs and symptoms appear in infancy or later in life and inc
