Patients with mutations in the ASL gene present with argininosuccinic aciduria characterised by hyperammonaemia and cognitive impairment. Here, the authors show that cerebral disease involves neuronal nitrosative/oxidative stress that is not induced by hyperammonaemia, and that it can be reversed using AAV-ASL directed to liver and brain in mice.
