A novel mutation of cystathionine beta-synthase gene in a Thai boy with homocystinuria

J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2009 Oct;31(10):768-70. doi: 10.1097/MPH.0b013e3181a32bb8.

Abstract

The authors reported a 14-year-old boy who presented with multiple organs thrombosis and subluxation of lens. His diagnosis of homocystinuria was delayed owing to the unrecognition of the disease resulting in significant morbidity. The mutation analysis showed one novel mutation that can explain the high level of plasma homocysteine.
