hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome

hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome
an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by elevated plasma levels of ornithine, postprandial hyperammonemia and homocitrullinuria, and aversion to protein ingestion. It is believed to result from a defect in the transport of ornithine into mitochondria, which disturbs the cycle of ureagenesis. Called also HHH s.
