Abstract

Citrin deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with SLC25A13 gene pathogenic variants, with more than a hundred known at present. It manifests in neonates as failure to thrive and acute liver insufficiency. We herein describe a case of a 4-week-old infant who presented with insufficient weight gain and liver failure accompanied by hyperammonemia. She was diagnosed with Citrin deficiency after a thorough biochemical and molecular analysis including amino acid profile, DNA sequencing of genes of interest and RNA splice site evaluation, to reveal a yet unknown damaging variant of the SLC25A13 gene.
