hy·per·ly·si·ne·mi·a

(hī'pĕr-lī'si-nē'mē-ă), [MIM*238700] A metabolic disorder characterized by mental retardation, convulsions, anemia, and asthenia; associated with an abnormal increase of the amino acid lysine in the circulating blood due to a deficiency of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase. One variant [MIM*268700] is associated with a deficiency of α-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase, resulting in hyperlysinemia and saccharopinemia.
