" /> Homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Classic homocystinuria is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of sulfur metabolism. The clinical features of untreated homocystinuria due to CBS deficiency usually manifest in the first or second decade of life and include myopia, ectopia lentis, mental retardation, skeletal anomalies resembling Marfan syndrome (MFS; 154700), and thromboembolic events. Light skin and hair can also be present. Biochemical features include increased urinary homocystine and methionine. There are 2 main phenotypes of the classic disorder: a milder pyridoxine (vitamin B6)-responsive form, and a more severe pyridoxine-nonresponsive form. Pyridoxine is a cofactor for the CBS enzyme, and can aid in the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine (summary by Reish et al., 1995 and Testai and Gorelick, 2010). Some patients have been reported to have a milder form of homocystinuria, which is characterized by increased plasma homocysteine and increased risk for thrombotic events in young adulthood, but without the other skeletal, ocular, or nervous system manifestations observed in classic homocystinuria (Kelly et al., 2003).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the cystathionine beta-synthase gene (CBS, 613381.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Homocystinuria; Methioninuria; Cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency;

Prefixed ID : #236200;
