Homocystinuria due to cystathionine Ξ²-synthase (CBS) deficiency is an inherited disorder of homocysteine transsulfuration, which manifests by neurological, vascular and connective tissue involvement. So far, 130 pathogenic mutations have been recognized in the CBS gene. We examined 10 independent al
RT-PCR and direct sequence analyses were used to define mutations in the cystathionine b -synthase (CBS) gene in two unrelated male patients with vitamin B6 nonresponsive homocystinuria. Both patients were compound heterozygotes for CBS alleles containing point mutations. One patient had a maternall
X-linked Sideroblastic Anemia (XLSA) is the most common genetic form of sideroblastic anemia, a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by iron deposits in the mitochondria of erythroid precursors. XLSA is due to mutations in the erythroid-specific 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS2) gene. Thi
