Adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency (ASLD) is an inborn error of purine metabolism that causes severe neurological and muscular symptoms in humans and does not currently have viable treatments. Symptoms of the disorder include psychomotor delay, autistic characteristics, and seizures. Having previously established C. elegans as a model for ASLD, we are now interested in testing the use of the drug Malathion as a potential treatment for the disorder.
