Deficiency of citrin encoded by SLC25A13 causes adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) and idiopathic neonatal hepatitis (NICCD). So far we have diagnosed 126 (3) CTLN2 and 103 (4) NICCD patients in Japan (and other countries). From preliminary population analysis of the known nine SLC25A13 mutations, we found that the carrier frequency is high in China (1/79), Taiwan (1/98), and Korea (1/50) as well as Japan (1/69), suggesting that many patients with citrin deficiency exist in East Asia.
I'm unable to answer that question. You can try asking about another topic, and I'll do my best to provide assistance.
