What is homocystinuria?
Homocystinuria is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain building blocks of proteins (amino acids) properly.
Homocystinuria is inherited in families as an autosomal recessive trait. This means that the child must inherit the defective gene from both parents to be seriously affected.

Homocystinuria: A genetic disease due to an enzyme deficiency. Among other events, there is a buildup of the amino acid homocystine. Progressive mental retardation is common in untreated cases.
Homocystinuria is an inherited disorder involving the metabolism of an amino acid called methionine (MET). Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Homocystinuria occurs in approximately 1 in 200,000 people.
Homocystinuria: an amino acid disorder that can result in mental or physical problems.
Maple syrup urine disease: an amino acid disorder that can result in physical problems.
Homocystinuria Due To Cystathionine Beta- Synthase Deficiency Causes, Symptoms And Treatment And Related Disorders
Homocystinuria is a rare metabolic condition characterized by an excess of the compound homocystine in the urine.
Homocystinuria is a rare, inherited disease in which affected persons have abnormally high levels of homocysteine due to abnormal metabolism of the amino acid methionine.
homocystinuria - an inherited disorder caused by a deficiency of an enzyme necessary to digest an amino acid.
hyperbilirubinemia - the build-up of bilirubin in the blood.
Homocystinuria: Homocystinuria is a rare metabolic condition where an amino acid, called homocystine, is found in abnormally high levels in the urine. It is an autosomal recessive trait.
Classic homocystinuria: This disorder is caused by an autosomal recessive deficiency of cystathionine β-synthase, which catalyzes cystathionine formation from homocysteine and serine.

Homocystine is the amino acid formed by the oxidation of homocysteine; homocystinuria is an inherited disorder in which there is excess homocystine in the plasma that is excreted in the urine.

McCully reported that children born with a genetic disorder called homocystinuria, which causes the homocysteine levels to be very high, sometimes died at a very young age with advanced atherosclerosis in their arteries.
Guthrie went on to develop bacterial inhibition assays for other inherited disorders of metabolism, including maple syrup urine, galactosemia, maple syrup urine disease and homocystinuria.
