Urea cycle disorders are congenital diseases that are caused by a dysfunctional urea cycle. Urea cycle disorders are the result of a deficiency of one of the six enzymes that catalyze the various biochemical reactions in the urea cycle which converts ammonia to urea for removal via urine. Urea cycle disorders belong to inborn errors of metabolism that are associated with fatal brain damage and death in newborns. The diagnosis of urea cycle disorder is done by the analysis of urine and blood for abnormal metabolites such as substances produced by metabolism and high ammonia levels. Frequent blood tests are done to monitor ammonia levels. The treatment of urea cycle disorders consists of dietary management to limit ammonia production. A liver transplant can be an effective treatment for urea cycle disorder for the proper functioning of the urea cycle

Market Dynamics

Increasing product approvals by regulatory bodies which is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, In October 2020, Aeglea Biotherapeutics, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation to ACN00177 for the treatment of Homocystinuria, a serious metabolic disorder characterized by elevated plasma homocysteine, which leads to a wide range of life-altering complications and reduced life expectancy.

Increasing product launches by key players for ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency treatment is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, Medunik USA, a pharmaceutical company, announced the launch of Pheburane oral pellets, a unique taste-masked formulation of sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB). Pheburane is a prescription medicine, used along with a specific diet, for the long-term management of adults and children with urea cycle disorders (UCDs).
