NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵³ Hypertryptophanemia is a rare condition that likely occurs due to abnormalities in the body's ability to process the amino acid (a building block of proteins), tryptophan. People affected by this condition may experience intellectual disability and behavioral problems (i.e. periodic mood swings, exaggerated emotional responses and abnormal sexual behavior). The underlying genetic cause of hypertryptophanemia is currently unknown; however, it appears to be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person.

MalaCards based summary : Hypertryptophanemia, is also known as hypertryptophanemia, familial. An important gene associated with Hypertryptophanemia is TDO2 (Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase). Related phenotypes are hypertelorism and emotional lability

OMIM : ⁵⁷ Congenital hypertryptophanemia, which is accompanied by hyperserotonemia, does not appear to have significant clinical consequences (Ferreira et al., 2017). (600627)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁵ Hypertryptophanemia: An autosomal recessive condition characterized by persistent hypertryptophanemia and hyperserotoninemia.
