Abstract
Formiminotransferase activity was estimated on erythrocyte lysates obtained from 2 cases with the formiminotransferase deficiency syndrome, and was found to be markedly decreased in both the cases as compared with that of controls. An estimation of formiminotransferase activity of erythrocyte lysates might be used as a tool for diagnosis of this syndrome. Clinical and biochemical findings of the 3rd case of formiminotransferase deficiency syndrome were described.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
