Homocystinuria is an inherited autosomal recessive defect in methionine metabolism that is caused by a deficiency in cystathionine synthase.
Cystathionine beta-synthase is encoded on chromosome 21, and deficiency in its activity causes homocystinuria.
Cystathionine beta-synthase plays a key role in the intracellular disposal of homocysteine and is the single most common locus of mutations associated with homocystinuria.
