Disorders of lysine and hydroxylysine metabolism - what does this mean

Disorders of lysine and hydroxylysine metabolism occur when the body cannot break down lysine and hydroxylysine, two essential amino acids, due to a genetic defect. this can lead to a buildup of these amino acids in the body, resulting in neurological and developmental problems, as well as other health issues.

What happens during the disease - disorders of lysine and hydroxylysine metabolism

Disorders of lysine and hydroxylysine metabolism are caused by a deficiency in the enzyme lysyl hydroxylase, which is responsible for the hydroxylation of lysine and hydroxylysine in collagen and elastin. this deficiency results in the accumulation of lysine and hydroxylysine in the body, leading to a variety of medical issues such as connective tissue abnormalities, skeletal malformations, and impaired wound healing.
