RESUMEN

Introducción. Homocistinuria es la segunda causa de aminoacidopatías, después de fenilcetonuria. Se hereda en forma autosómica recesiva. El defecto está en el cromosoma 21 q 22.3. Incidencia: 1:300 000 a 1:60 000. Es un trastorno del metabolismo de la metionina con aumento de homocisteína, y alteraciones en ojos y sistemas nervioso central, cardiovascular y esquelético.
Casos clínicos. Mujeres de 9 y 11 años, con retardo psicomotor, pérdida de la agudeza visual y actividad motora, subluxación de cristalino, nistagmo, mala oclusión dentaria, prognatismo, escápulas aladas, aracno y clindactilia, genuvalgo, pie cavo, ataxia y signo de Romberg positivo. Tamiz metabólico: caso 1: metionina 1 194 (normal 7-47 ng/mL), B12 1 167 (normal 220-960 pg/mL), folatos 20-7.2 (normal 3-17 ng/mL). Caso 2: metionina 180-1 740, vitamina B12: 1 749 y 1 744, folatos 3. Tratamiento: piridoxina, folatos, vitamina C, B12 y aspirina. Evolución estable.
Conclusión. El diagnóstico oportuno de homocistinuria previene complicaciones.
