Learn About Orotic Aciduria Type 1

What is the definition of Orotic Aciduria Type 1?
Orotic aciduria type I (OA1), also known as hereditary orotic aciduria, is a condition characterized by elevated levels of orotic acid in the urine. It typically becomes apparent in the first months of life with megaloblastic anemia, as well as delays in physical and intellectual development. OA1 is caused by changes in the UMPS gene and inheritance is autosomal recessive. OA1 differs from other causes of orotic aciduria, which may include mitochondrial disorders, lysinuric protein intolerance, and liver disease.
