toluene and Homocystinuria

toluene has been researched along with Homocystinuria in 1 studies

methylbenzene : Any alkylbenzene that is benzene substituted with one or more methyl groups.

Homocystinuria: Autosomal recessive inborn error of methionine metabolism usually caused by a deficiency of CYSTATHIONINE BETA-SYNTHASE and associated with elevations of homocysteine in plasma and urine. Clinical features include a tall slender habitus, SCOLIOSIS, arachnodactyly, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, genu varus, thin blond hair, malar flush, lens dislocations, an increased incidence of MENTAL RETARDATION, and a tendency to develop fibrosis of arteries, frequently complicated by CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS and MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p979)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Three circumstances prompted us to reexamine the relationship between abnormal cystathionine accumulation and possible homocystinuria resulting from this condition: (a) discovery of an infant girl with apparently alternating massive cystathioninuria and homocystinuria; (b) the presence of homocystinuria in some, but not all, previously reported cases of cystathioninuria probably due to gamma-cystathionine deficiency; and (c) the recent demonstration that mammalian cystathionine beta-synthase can cleave cystathionine to homocysteine."3.65Cystathioninuria and homocystinuria. ( Levy, HL; Madigan, PM; Mudd, SH; Uhlendorf, BW, 1975)
