Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is a rare X-linked genetic disorder characterized by partial or complete lack of the enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC). OTC is one of six enzymes that play a role in the breakdown and removal of nitrogen in the body, a process known as urea cycle. Ammonia-scavenging drugs have been utilized in the treatment of urea cycle disorders. Benzoate and Glycerol/Sodium Phenyl Butyrate (NaPB) target liver-nitrogen metabolism by offering an alternative pathway for nitrogen disposal through the urinary excretion of hippurate and phenylacetylglutamine. A combination of a high biological value natural protein, an essential amino acid formula and a calorie supplement without protein and essential amino acids supplements may also be employed for the treatment of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.
North America dominated the global ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency treatment market in 2019. It is expected to dominate the global market, in terms of revenue, during the forecast period.
