222700 | OMIM | Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) | A metabolic disorder characterized by increased renal excretion of cationic amino acid (CAA), reduced CAA absorption from intestine, and orotic aciduria. On a normal diet, LPI patients present poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhea, episodes of hyperammoniaemic coma and growth retardation. Hepatosplenomegaly, osteoporosis and a life-threatening pulmonary involvement (alveolar proteinosis) are also seen. Biochemically LPI is characterized by defective transport of dibasic amino acids at the basolateral membrane of epithelial cells in kidney and intestine. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
