Hypermethioninemia due to adenosine kinase deficiency - CISMeF
Hypermethioninemia due to adenosine kinase deficiencyOMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Hypermethioninemia due to adenosine kinase deficiency;
CISMeF acronym : MRT8;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : MRT8; Mental retardation, autosomal recessive 8;
Description : Hypermethioninemia due to adenosine kinase deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn
error of metabolism characterized by global developmental delay, early-onset seizures,
mild dysmorphic features, and characteristic biochemical anomalies, including persistent
hypermethioninemia with increased levels of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and S-adenosylhomocysteine
(AdoHcy); homocysteine is typically normal (summary by Bjursell et al., 2011).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the adenosine kinase gene (ADK, 102750.0001);
