Homocystinuria is a metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of cystathionine beta-synthase with autosomal recessive inheritance. Clinically it is characterized by lens subluxation, skeletal abnormalities, and thromboembolic accidents.

Background Classical homocystinuria (HCU), an inborn error of homocysteine metabolism, has previously been estimated to affect approximately 1 in 100,000–200,000 people in the United States (US).

The Spectrum of Mutations of Homocystinuria in the MENA Region
Homocystinuria is an inborn error of metabolism due to the deficiency in cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) enzyme activity. It leads to the elevation of both homocysteine and methionine levels in the blood and urine.

Poorly Controlled Homocystinuria: A Rare Cause of Ischemic Priapism?
We report on the 1st case of ischemic priapism secondary to poorly controlled homocystinuria. Homocystinuria is a rare, autosomal recessive, inherited disorder of metabolism that is caused by a deficiency of cystathionine synthase, leading to marked ...

Gene identification for the cblD defect of vitamin B12 metabolism [PDF]
Background Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential cofactor in several metabolic pathways. Intracellular conversion of cobalamin to its two coenzymes, adenosylcobalamin in mitochondria and methylcobalamin in the cytoplasm, is necessary for the ...

Homocystinuria: Literature Review and Clinical Case Description
Homocystinuria is rare autosomal-recessive monogenic disorder associated with disturbance of methionine metabolism due to liver enzyme cystathionine--synthetase (CBS) deficit.

CBS domains form energy-sensing modules whose binding of adenosine ligands is disrupted by disease mutations [PDF]
CBS domains are defined as sequence motifs that occur in several different proteins in all kingdoms of life. Although thought to be regulatory, their exact functions have been unknown.

Engineering and Characterization of an Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Classical Homocystinuria
Homocystinuria due to loss of cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) causes accumulation of homocysteine and depletion of cysteine. Current treatments are suboptimal, and thus the development of an enzyme replacement therapy based on PEGylated human truncated

Ocular complications in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency and its meticulous management
A 13-year-old girl with a systemic diagnosis of homocystinuria (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency type) associated with intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities (genu varum, kyphoscoliosis, and arachnodactyly), and pancytopenia ...
