Date:3/18/2010

The condition, N-acetylglutamate synthase or NAGS deficiency, is an extremely rare, genetic disorder that can be present in babies soon after birth. NAGS deficiency and the resulting elevated levels of ammonia (hyperammonemia). can be fatal if it is not detected and treated rapidly. DNA testing can confirm the diagnosis of NAGS.

"We are very excited that more drugs are being developed to treat very rare but often devastating genetic disorders" said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "We hope to see continuing progress in this area."
