Global Hereditary Orotic Aciduria: An Understanding of its Genetic Basis, Presentation, and Management
Orotic aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of pyrimidine metabolism resulting from mutations in the UMPS gene. This gene codes for the enzyme orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT), which plays a key role in the catabolism of uridine monophosphate (UMP). Deficiency of this enzyme leads to the accumulation and excessive excretion of orotic acid in the urine. If left untreated,...

Hereditary Orotic Aciduria: An Overview of a Rare Genetic Disorder
Hereditary orotic aciduria is a rare inherited genetic disorder that affects pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis in the body. It is caused by a mutation in the UMPS gene that encodes for the enzyme orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT). This enzyme plays a vital role in the pyrimidine salvage pathway involved in the biosynthesis of uridine monophosphate (UMP), which is required for the formation...
