    1. Case: patient #2, male, Saudi Arabian

      Disease Assertion: UCD/OTCD

      Family Info: Family history of the disease, Variant found in mother of the patient, Brother died of hyperammonemic crisis

      Case Previous Testing: Liver tissues were used to extract RNA that was later used to synthesize cDNA. The products were compared to healthy controls in order to detect variants. gDNA, in order to determine the size of deletions in patient 3 and 4 , a set of intronic primers presumably flanking the deletions was used and specific primers allowed sequencing of exactly those critical regions(sequencing on paper). To estimate the relevance of the identified intronic variants in terms of their capability to induce splicing, we used a score developed by Shapiro and Senapathy. This splice score offers information about the usage of a certain splice site

      Supplemental Data: TABLE 1, Patient was severely mentally retarded after the age of 2. Low OTC activity

      CasePreviousTesting: gDNA extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. PCR all coding exons and exon–intron boundaries of the OTC gene using 9 pairs of synthetic oligonucleotide primers, and the primer sequences and annealing temperature. PCR products were then purifed and bidirectionally sequenced. The library was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq4000 and generated 150 bp paired-end reads. Data analysis was performed as previously described [Sun Y, Hu G, Liu H, Zhang X, Huang Z, Yan H, et al. Further delineation of the phenotype of truncating KMT2A mutations: the extended Wiedemann–Steiner syndrome. Am J Med Genet A. 2017;173:510–4.]. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplifcation analysis was performed for samples in which Sanger sequencing or WES failed to detect any disease-causing mutation.

      SupplementalData: Table 3, low protein diet treatment and drug treatment(L-arginine, L-Citrulline, sodium benzoate, and sodium phenylbutyrate), neurological damage
