Title: Adult onset type II citrullinemia as a cause of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Abstract: Adult onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) is an autosomal recessive disease accompanied with hyperammonemia and a sudden onset of psychiatric disorders.

Patients with NASH were analyzed for the causative gene of CTLN2, SLC25A13 and discussed.
