Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) gene, located at chromosome 7cen-q11.2, which encodes for a protein which catalyzes the cleavage of argininosuccinate, which is vital in detoxifying ammonia via the urea cycle. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with early-onset argininosuccinic aciduria, also known as argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) deficiency.
