I think I may have OTC Deficiency who do I Contact?

If you recognise any symptoms of Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency (OTC] within yourself or your child you should contact your Local GP immediately for a referral to see a inherited metabolic diseases specialist. I Cannot stress enough the seriousness of this condition and unfortunately many medical professionals won’t have metabolic awareness and will under estimate the condition despite medical protocols and n.i.c.e guidelines already being in place, which sadly it seems some medical professionals feel fit to ignore, which leads to catastrophic consequences.
