Asparagine synthetase deficiency
Definition:
Asparagine synthetase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital microcephaly, intellectual disability, progressive cerebral atrophy, and intractable seizures. Recessive mutations in the ASNS gene, encoding asparagine synthetase which catalyzes the synthesis of asparagine from glutamine and aspartate, are responsible for this syndrome.
