Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Low blood arginine levels is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| ASLargininosuccinate lyase | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| CPS1carbamoyl-phosphate synthase 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| ALDH18A1aldehyde dehydrogenase 18 family member A1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ATP5F1AATP synthase F1 subunit alpha | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CA5Acarbonic anhydrase 5A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| OTCornithine transcarbamylase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PNPOpyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ASS1argininosuccinate synthase 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
