Popis: | Homocysteinaemia due to cystathione synthase deficiency (CSD: McKusick 236200) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of methionine metabolism. The most life-threatening complications caused by CSD are thromboembolism and vascular abnormalities. Boers et al (1985) provided evidence that even mild homocysteinaemia, as seen in heterozygote CSD patients, is predisposing for development of premature peripheral and cerebral occlusive arterial disease |
