Hypermethioninemia is a rare error of metabolism (IEM) which arises when there is a disfunction in the gene called AHCY. This gene is responsible for Adenosylhomocysteinase, an enzyme which takes S-adenosyl homocysteine as input, and produces homocysteine as its output. This outputted compound through the its respective pathway may be turned back into cysteine methionine. A dysfunctional defect Adenosylhomocysteinase can lead to the build of of these two compounds in the blood. Of particular interest is that individuals who are affected by hypermethioninemia present a wide spectrum of symptoms. This ranges anywhere from the complete absence of symptoms, to mental retardation, muscle weakness, liver problems, and unusual facial features.
