What is the difference between general and specific overflow aminoaciduria?
In some instances, the aminoaciduria is generalised; there is increased excretion of all of the amino acids occurring in the plasma. In other instances, the aminoaciduria is more specific, in that there are increased amounts of some amino acids in the urine while all others are excreted in normal amounts.
What causes excess amino acid in urine?
This may be caused by congenital disorders of amino acid metabolism, for example, phenylketonuria, or may be secondary to liver disease. In renal aminoaciduria, the renal tubules are unable to reabsorb the filtered amino acids back into the blood, causing high concentrations of amino acids in the urine.
What is Aminoacidopathies?

How is hypermethioninemia diagnosed?
Hypermethioninemia is often the first finding leading to suspicion of MAT I/III deficiency. Firstly, hypermethioninemia due to CBS deficiency is excluded by measuring total homocysteine (tHcy). If tHcy is normal or only slightly increased, sequencing the MAT1A gene is the direct way to diagnosis.
