In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have classical homocystinuria (HCU), a rare condition that is passed down by parents (or "genetic condition"). It is caused by changes in the cystathionine beta-synthase (or "CBS") gene and prevents an enzyme from working correctly in the body. This enzyme breaks down a substance called homocysteine (from dietary methionine found in protein) and keeps both homocysteine and methionine at normal levels. When this enzyme is not working, homocysteine and methionine build up in the blood, which spreads into different tissues of the body and stops these body tissues from working normally. People with HCU can experience problems with vision, bones, blood vessels, and cognitive function (the ability to think, learn, and remember). Treatments available for HCU, such as a low protein diet and betaine (Cystadane®), help reduce homocystei
