`
`Summary: Homocystinuria (HCU) due to cystathionine b-synthase de—ciency
`(Mudd et al 1964) was independently described by Gerritsen and colleagues
`(USA) and Carson and colleagues (Northern Ireland) in 1962. The worldwide
`frequency of HCU has been reported as 1 in 344 000, while that in Ireland is
`much higher at 1 in 65 000, based on newborn screening and cases detected
`clinically. The national newborn screening programme for HCU in Ireland was
`started in 1971 using the bacterial inhibition assay. A total of 1.58 million
`newborn infants have been screened over a 25-year period up to 1996. Twenty-
`—ve HCU cases were diagnosed, 21 of whom were identi—ed on screening. The
`remaining four HCU cases were missed and presented clinically; three of these
`were breast-fed and one was pyridoxine responsive. Twenty-four HCU cases
`were pyridoxine nonresponsive. Once the status of pyridoxine responsiveness
`was identi—ed, all pyridoxine nonresponsive cases, but one, were started on a
`low methionine, cystine-enhanced diet supplemented with pyridoxine, vitamin
`B12
`and folate. Dietary treatment commenced within 6 weeks of birth (range
`8¨42 days) for those cases detected by screening, while for the late-detected
`cases treatment was started upon presentation and diagnosis. Biochemical
`control was monitored measuring deproteinized plasma methionine, free homo-
`cystine and cystine at least once a month. Review of the clinical outcome of the
`25 HCU cases with 365.7 patient-years of treatment revealed no HCU-related
`complications in 18 screened, dietary-treated cases. Fifteen of these had lifetime
`medians of free homocystine „11 kmol/L (range 4¨11). The remaining three
`cases with higher lifetime medians of free homocystine (18, 18 and 48 kmol/L)
`have developed increasing myopia recently. Among the three screened non-
`dietary-compliant cases, two have ectopia lentis, one has osteoporosis and two
`have mental handicap. Of the four cases missed on screening, three presented

`
`with ectopia lentis after the age of 2 years. There were no thromboembolic
`events in any of the 25 HCU cases. The lifetime medians for methionine ranged
`from 47 to 134 kmol/L. The Irish HCU clinical outcome data suggest that
`newborn screening, early commencement of dietary treatment and a lifetime
`median of free homocystine of „ 11 kmol/L had signi—cantly reduced the prob-
`ability of developing complications when it was compared to the untreated
`HCU data (Mudd et al 1985).
`
`(HCU; McKusick 236200) due to cystathionine b-synthase (CBS;
`Homocystinuria
`EC 4.2.1.22) de—ciency is an autosomal recessive disorder with a frequency of 1 in
`65 000 in Ireland, based on newborn screening and cases detected clinically, com-
`pared to a worldwide frequency of 1 in 344 000 (Mudd et al 1995). The national
`newborn screening programme was started in Ireland for HCU in 1971. Approx-
`imately one half of individuals with HCU worldwide are pyridoxine responsive,
`resulting in a decrease in plasma concentration of methionine and almost complete
`elimination of homocyst(e)ine in the blood and urine (Andria and Sebastio, 1996).
`Pyridoxine-nonresponsive cases have a more severe clinical presentation. The CBS
`gene has been mapped to the human chromosome 21q22.3 (Munke et al 1988). In
`Ireland, 70¨71% of the defective CBS alleles are G307S, which heralds a more
`severe and earlier clinical presentation in association with pyridoxine non-
`responsiveness (Gallagher et al 1995).
`Individuals with HCU are clinically normal at birth. If untreated, they may
`present with varying degrees of the well-recognized clinical syndrome of ectopia
`lentis, dolichostenomelia, osteoporosis, thromboembolic events, and mental retar-
`dation. Of untreated patients who are pyridoxine nonresponsive, 82% will have
`ectopia lentis by the age of 10 years, 27% will have had a clinically detected throm-
`boembolic event by the age of 15 years, 64% will have radiological evidence of
`spinal osteoporosis by the age of 15 years, and 23% will not survive to the age of 30
`years (Mudd et al 1985). This paper presents the clinical outcome and biochemical
`control of 25 cases of HCU in Ireland detected in the 25-year period of national
`newborn screening with 365.7 patient-years of treatment. Four of these 25 cases
`were missed on screening.
`
`PATIENTS AND METHODS
`Subjects: This is a retrospective study of all 25 cases of HCU detected in Ireland
`between 1971 and 1996 either by the national newborn screening programme or by
`clinical presentation. The data were extracted from the clinical notes.
`There are 12 females and 13 males from 19 families; one male died at the age of 8
`years following a drowning accident. Twenty-four of the twenty-—ve patients are
`nonresponsive to pyridoxine. Twenty-one cases were identi—ed by the national
`newborn screening programme. Of the remaining four cases missed on screening,
`three were breast-fed and one is pyridoxine responsive. All but one were started on
`treatment upon diagnosis.

`
`Biochemical determinants: All 21 cases of HCU detected by newborn screening had
`high blood methionine concentration of more than 100 kmol/L, assayed by the bac-
`terial inhibition assay (BIA) on the heel prick blood sample taken on day 3 to day 5
`of life. A liquid blood sample, separated and deproteinized within 10 min of collec-
`tion, was requested from these infants and assayed using an amino acid analyser for
`methionine, free homocystine and cystine. A high blood methionine and free homo-
`cystine with a low cystine con—rmed the diagnosis for those detected on newborn
`screening and those that presented clinically. CBS enzyme activity in skin —bro-
`blasts, assessed by Fowler according to his methods (Fowler et al 1978), was only
`available for 5 patients. Three patients showed no detectable CBS activity in both
`assays with or without added 1.0 mmol/L pyridoxal phosphate (normal CBS activity
`4¨25 nmol/h per mg). The remaining two patients exhibited very minimal CBS
`activity (0.05 and 0.037 increasing to 0.066 and 0.062 nmol/h per mg respectively
`with the addition of 1 mmol/L pyridoxal phosphate).
`
`Clinical management and follow-up: All patients diagnosed as having HCU had
`their pyridoxine status determined clinically by commencement on oral pyridoxine
`50 mg three times daily as inpatients. The deproteinized blood methionine, free
`homocystine and cystine were initially determined every 3 days while on daily oral
`pyridoxine. Pyridoxine responsiveness was indicated by a rapidly falling methionine
`level and clearing of free homocystine from the plasma, while pyridoxine non-
`responsiveness was indicated by persistently high or rising plasma methionine and
`free homocystine.
`In pyridoxine-nonresponsive patients, dietary management was commenced by
`restricting dietary methionine and using a methionine-free, cystine-supplemented
`synthetic mixture. Methionine was added as a proprietary food preparation or as
`breast milk and the amount was titrated against the plasma methionine and free
`homocystine concentration. Two-thirds of the total protein intake was derived from
`the synthetic methionine-free, cystine-supplemented mixture and the remaining third
`from the natural methionine-containing foods (P. Howard, personal communica-
`B12
`tion, 1996). Plasma
`and folate were assayed and, if they were found de—cient, the
`patient was given supplements. Once stabilized, blood was drawn, deproteinized,
`and analysed for methionine, free homocystine and cystine at least once a month, or
`more frequently if clinically indicated, to monitor biochemical control. During all
`episodes of acute illness, prompt treatment of the illness with additional supportive
`care,
`including adequate hydration and aspirin or dipyridamole, was given to
`prevent blood stasis.
`Lifetime medians and ranges of plasma methionine and free homocystine levels
`were calculated. Methionine and free homocystine levels during the initial periods of
`stabilization, pyridoxine challenge and subsequent periods of proven illness were
`excluded from the calculations for lifetime medians and ranges.
`Upon discharge from hospital, patients initially attended the outpatient depart-
`ment fortnightly and thereafter at 4- to 6-weekly intervals. They were reviewed mini-
`mally four times per year. At every clinic visit, growth parameters were measured, a
`general physical examination was carried out by a doctor, and blood was drawn,

`
`deproteinized and analysed for methionine, free homocystine and cystine to monitor
`biochemical control. Experienced dietitians provided dietary assessments and con-
`stant advice at each visit. Annual detailed ophthalmological examination was per-
`formed by a paediatric ophthalmologist experienced in HCU. Initially, skeletal
`radiology was performed yearly to detect evidence of osteoporosis. Up to 1990,
`annual clinical cardiovascular assessments including electrocardiographs and chest
`radiographs were performed by experienced paediatric cardiologists. Transthoracic
`echocardiograms were carried out when clinical abnormalities (e.g. murmurs, pulse
`di(cid:134)erences) were detected. IQ assessments were performed at 2- to 6-yearly intervals.
`Psychological support was provided whenever necessary by the clinical psychol-
`ogist.
`
`RESULTS
`Patient demographics:
`In 25 years of national newborn screening up to 1996, 21
`cases of HCU were detected through the programme. All were pyridoxine non-
`responsive and —ve cases were breast-fed. Four other HCU cases were missed and
`presented clinically; three were breast-fed and one was pyridoxine responsive.
`Details of complications among the study group are categorized in Table 1.
`
`Clinical and biochemical —ndings: The 25 cases of HCU are divided into three
`groups according to the mode of detection (screened and missed on screening) and
`the development of complications. Group 1 consisted of 18 HCU cases detected on
`screening,
`treated and remaining free from the recognized complications of
`untreated HCU (Table 2). Three patients who were detected by screening developed
`complications due to noncompliance with the prescribed diet, as indicated by
`dietary history and poor biochemical control, are in group 2 (Table 3). The four
`cases missed on screening presented with complications after the age of 2 years and
`are in group 3 (Table 4).
`One of the four cases missed on screening and never treated was recently referred
`to our clinic aged 21 years with recognized complications of untreated HCU (case 4,
`Table 4). She had bilateral ectopia lentis and optic atrophy, mental retardation,

`mented clinical evidence of thromboembolic events.
`The individual age at which diet was commenced, lifetime medians and ranges of
`plasma methionine and free homocystine levels are summarized in Tables 2, 3 and 4.
`Treatment was started before 6 weeks of age for patients in groups 1 and 2, while
`those in group 3 started upon presentation and diagnosis. The mean period of
`follow-up for the screened groups 1 and 2 was 14.3 years (range 2.5¨23.4) and for the
`late-detected group 3 was 14.7 years (range 11.7¨18.8).
`Three patients (cases 12, 13 and 18) in group 1 (Table 2) developed increasing
`myopia in the last few years and all had higher lifetime median of plasma free
`homocystine (18, 18 and 48 kmol/L) compared to the remaining 15 cases, who all
`had lifetime medians of plasma free homocystine levels „11 kmol/L (Figure 1). No
`patient, whether detected by screening or clinically, developed any thromboembolic
`events, in contrast to the predicted outcome at their current age according to the
`time-to-event graphs by Mudd et al (1985; see Table 6). The lifetime median methi-
`onine levels ranged from 47 to 134 kmol/L.
`Four patients had mental handicap: two noncompliant patients detected by
`screening (group 2: cases 1 and 2) and two who were missed on screening (group 3:
`cases 1 and 4). The remaining 21 patients have achieved age-appropriate education
`standards (Table 5).

`DISCUSSION
`
`Newborn screening and early dietary intervention signi—cantly reduce the morbidity
`and mortality in patients with HCU. Although the number of cases studied in this
`paper (25) was comparatively small with varying lengths of follow-up, the lack of

`obvious clinical complications was very encouraging. When the Irish outcome data
`were compared to that of Mudd et al (1985), there was a notable reduction in the
`probability of developing complications (Table 6), in particular the development of
`thromboembolic events. Poor dietary compliance, as re(cid:209)ected by dietary history and
`higher plasma free homocystine levels for between 2 and 8 years, signi—cantly
`increased the risk of developing complications. Compliance with diet for life can be
`a problem at all ages, particularly during adolescence, despite the possible bene—cial
`e(cid:134)ects in preventing complications (Brenton et al 1966; Parkinson 1969). It does,
`however, seem achievable with continuous support for the patient and family from a
`dedicated multidisciplinary team. Betaine, a methyl donor, may be needed to

`augment dietary treatment in noncompliant HCU patients or used as the sole treat-
`ment where diet is unacceptable to the patient (Wilcken et al 1983).
`Early detection, good dietary compliance and a lifetime median of plasma free
`homocystine „11 kmol/L seems to protect against the recognized complications as
`demonstrated by 15 cases in group 1. Increasing myopia may be the —rst sign of
`persistent poor compliance, prior to ectopia lentis (Burke et al 1989), as seen in three
`cases in group 1 with high lifetime medians of free homocystine levels of 18, 18 and
`48 kmol/L, despite their insistence on good dietary compliance. All 25 cases of HCU
`had high lifetime median plasma methionine ranging from 47 to 134 kmol/L and
`this hypermethioninaemia does not appear to be toxic. Our data, as provided by
`group 3, also agree with the —ndings of Mudd et al (1985) that (cid:147)there is a lag period
`of approximately two yearsˇ before appreciable lens dislocation occurs in the
`untreated HCU patients. Mudd et al (1985), in a large HCU group, reported that
`the chance of su(cid:134)ering a clinically detected thromboembolic event for the untreated
`pyridoxine-nonresponsive patient is 25% by the age of 16 years and 50% by 29
`years, with the maximal likelihood of such an event occurring between 12.5 and 17.5
`years of age. None of the patients reported in this study developed detectable
`thromboembolic events (age range 2.5¨23.4 years).
`These —ndings show that classical homocystinuria is a potentially treatable
`inherited metabolic disorder. Newborn screening, early treatment, good dietary
`compliance and the maintenance of a lifetime median plasma free homocystine
`„11 kmol/L seem to protect, at least up to 23.4 years, against the overt recognized
`complications of untreated HCU. Additional long-term follow-up of this group of
`HCU patients with more precise and sensitive methods of cardiovascular and bone
`mineralization assessment will provide further vital information for evaluating the
`efficacy of early dietary treatment in preventing complications.
