Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Lysinuric protein intolerance is caused by defective cationic amino acid (CAA) transport at the basolateral membrane of epithelial cells in kidney and intestine. Metabolic derangement is characterized by increased renal excretion of CAA, reduced CAA absorption from intestine, ...
Diagnosis OMIM Sperandeo et al. (2008) noted that the diagnosis of LPI is often difficult because of vague clinical presentation. Classic symptoms of protein intolerance may remain unnoticed during the first and second decades of life due to unconscious avoidance ...
Clinical Description OMIM Perheentupa and Visakorpi (1965) first described 3 Finnish infants with an inborn error of metabolism characterized by protein intolerance and deficient transport of basic amino acids. Blood urea was low and urinary lysine and arginine were increased. ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 31 Finnish patients with lysinuric protein intolerance, Torrents et al. (1999) identified homozygosity for a founder mutation in the SLC7A7 gene (603593.0001). Borsani et al. (1999) defined the Finnish mutation as a splice acceptor change resulting in ...
