Alternative titles and symbols : Cystathionase deficiency;
Description : Cystathioninuria, an autosomal recessive phenotype with no striking pathologic features,
is characterized by abnormal accumulation of plasma cystathionine, leading to increased
urinary excretion. Because of the inconsistency and wide variety of disease associations,
cystathioninuria is considered to be a benign biochemical anomaly (Mudd et al., 2001).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the cystathionase gene (CTH, 607657.0001);
