La '''homocistinuria''' clásica, conocida también como '''deficiencia de cistationina beta sintasa''' o '''deficiencia de CBS''',<ref name=omim/> es una enfermedad hereditaria del [[metabolismo]] del [[aminoácido]] [[metionina]], que a menudo involucra un defecto en la enzima [[cistationina beta sintasa]]. Es una enfermedad hereditaria que se expresa con un patrón de herencia [[autosómico recesivo]], lo que significa que un niño debe heredar una copia defectuosa del gen que codifica para esta enzima de ambos padres para manifestar la enfermedad.

== Diagnóstico de laboratorio ==

The term homocystinuria describes an increased excretion of the [[thiol]] [[amino acid]] [[homocysteine]] in urine (and incidentally, also an increased concentration in [[blood plasma|plasma]]). The source of this increase may be one of many metabolic factors, only one of which is CBS deficiency. Others include the re-methylation defects ([[cobalamin]] defects, [[methionine]] sythase deficiency, [[MTHFR]]) and vitamin deficiencies (cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency, [[folate]] (vitamin B9) deficiency, [[riboflavin]] deficiency (vitamin B2), [[pyridoxal phosphate]] deficiency (vitamin B6)). In light of this information, a combined approach to laboratory diagnosis is required to reach a differential diagnosis.

CBS deficiency may be diagnosed by routine metabolic biochemistry. In the first instance, plasma or urine amino acid analysis will frequently show an elevation of methionine and the presence of homocysteine. Many neonatal screening programs include methionine as a metabolite. The disorder may be distinguished from the re-methylation defects (e.g., MTHFR, methionine synthase deficiency and the cobalamin defects) in lieu of the elevated methionine concentration.<ref>{{cite book|last=(eds.)|first=N.

The laboratory analysis of homocysteine itself is complicated because most homocysteine (possibly above 85%) is bound to other thiol amino acids and proteins in the form of [[disulphides]] (e.g., [[cysteine]] in cystine-homocysetine, [[homocysteine]] in homocysteine-homocysteine) via [[disulfide bonds]]. Since as an equilibrium process the proportion of free homocystene is variable a true value of total homocysteine (free + bound) is useful for confirming diagnosis and particularly for monitoring of treatment efficacy. To this end it is prudent to perform total homocyst(e)ine analysis in which all disulphide bonds are subject to [[redox|reduction]] prior to analysis, traditionally by [[HPLC]] after [[derivatisation]] with a fluorescent agent, thus giving a true reflection of the quantity of homocysteine in a plasma sample.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Carducci|first=Claudia|author2=M.

No specific cure has been discovered for homocystinuria; however, many people are treated using high doses of vitamin B<sub>6</sub> (also known as [[pyridoxine]]).<ref name=vit>{{Cite journal| pmid = 9259028 | last1 = Bakker | date = June 1997 | first1 = R.

A normal dose of [[folic acid]] supplement and occasionally adding [[cysteine]] to the diet can be helpful, as [[glutathione]] is synthesized from cysteine (so adding cysteine can be important to reduce [[oxidative stress]]).

Betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine) is used to reduce concentrations of homocysteine by promoting the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine, i.e., increasing flux through the re-methylation pathway independent of folate derivatives (which is mainly active in the liver and in the kidneys).The re-formed methionine is then gradually removed by incorporation into body protein. The methionine that is not converted into protein is converted to S-adenosyl-methionine which goes on to form homocysteine again. Betaine is, therefore, only effective if the quantity of methionine to be removed is small. Hence treatment includes both betaine and a diet low in methionine. In classical homocystinuria (CBS, or cystathione beta synthase deficiency), the plasma methionine level usually increases above the normal range of 30&nbsp;micromoles/L and the concentrations should be monitored as potentially toxic levels (more than 400&nbsp;micromoles/L) may be reached.
