Abstract excerpt
Homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-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 alleles in Polish patients suffering from CBS deficiency, and we detected four already described mutations...
