urocanase deficiency

urocanase deficiency
uro·can·ase de·fi·cien·cy (u″ro-kanґās) an inherited disorder of histidine catabolism caused by mutation in the UROC1 gene (locus 3q21.3), which encodes urocanate hydratase. It is characterized by excess urinary excretion of urocanic acid and growth retardation and may also be associated with mental retardation.
