Classical Homocystinuria also known as cystathionine beta synthase deficiency or CBS deficiency is an inherited disorder of the metabolism of the amino acid methionine often involving cystathionine beta synthase. It is an inherited autosomal recessive trait which means a child needs to inherit a copy of the defective gene from both parents to be affected.
