Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Isolated polynucleotide molecules and peptides encoded by these molecules are used in the analysis of human carbamyl phosphate synthetase I phenotypes, as well as in diagnostic and therapeutic applications, relating to a human carbamyl phosphate synthetase I polymorphism. By analyzing genomic DNA or amplified genomic DNA, or amplified cDNA derived from mRNA, it is possible to type a human carbamyl phosphate synthetase I with regard to the human carbamyl phosphate synthetase I polymorphism, for example, in the context of diagnosing and treating hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) associated with bone marrow transplants.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating pulmonary hypertension comprising administering an amount of citrulline effective to treat pulmonary hypertension in a subject suffering from pulmonary hypertension, wherein said citrulline is administered intravenously. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is human. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the human is an infant. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the pulmonary hypertension is persistent pulmonary hypertension. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the citrulline is administered in a dose ranging from about 100 mg to about 30,000 mg. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the citrulline is administered in a dose ranging from about 250 mg to about 10,000 mg. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the citrulline is administered in a dose ranging from about 200 mg/kg to about 800 mg/kg.
