Table presenting clinical data of the two individuals. Plasma amino acids, ammonium, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were analyzed in Helsinki University Hospital Laboratory HUSLAB. The reference ranges for amino acids vary according to age; the reference values presented are the rounded mean. The follow-up data from 10 recent years are presented as the mean, and in between parentheses, the lowest and the highest values.
