Descriptor homocistinuria
Entry term(s) enfermedad por deficiencia de cistationina betasintasa
Scope note: Error innato autosómico recesivo del metabolismo de la metionina que suele estar producido por deficiencia de la CISTATIONINA BETA-SINTASA y que se asocia a elevaciones de la homocisteina en el plasma y la orina. Las características clínicas incluyen un fenotipo alto y delgado, ESCOLIOSIS, aracnodactilia, DEBILIDAD MUSCULAR, genu varo, pelo rubio y fino, rubefacción malar, luxaciones del cristalino, incremento de la incidencia de RETRASO MENTAL y tendencia al desarrollo de fibrosis arterial, complicada frecuentemente por ACCIDENTES CEREBROVASCULARES e INFARTO DE MIOCARDIO.

Scope note: Autosomal recessive inborn error of methionine metabolism usually caused by a deficiency of CYSTATHIONINE BETA-SYNTHASE and associated with elevations of homocysteine in plasma and urine. Clinical features include a tall slender habitus, SCOLIOSIS, arachnodactyly, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, genu varus, thin blond hair, malar flush, lens dislocations, an increased incidence of MENTAL RETARDATION, and a tendency to develop fibrosis of arteries, frequently complicated by CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS and MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
