Homocystinuria

Homocystinuria

Homocystinuria (HCU) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to process the amino acid methionine, leading to a harmful buildup of homocysteine in a person’s blood or urine. It is a lifelong condition with no cure but recognizing HCU and starting treatment early can help individuals lead healthy, active lives.
