Cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS) deficiency (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
[OMIM] 236,200) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is caused by mutations in
the CBS gene. It is the most common inborn error of sulfur metabolism and is the
cause of classical homocystinuria, a condition characterized by very high levels
of plasma total homocysteine and methionine. Although recognized as an inborn
error of metabolism over 60years ago, these is still much we do not understand
related to how this specific metabolic defect gives rise to its distinct
phenotypes. To try and answer these questions, several groups have developed
mouse models on CBS deficiency. In this article, we will review various mouse
models of CBS deficiency and discuss how these mouse models compare to human CBS
deficient patients.
