Aspartylglycosaminuria is a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of certain sugars and proteins in the body. The ICD-10 code for this condition is E77.0. This code falls under the category of "disorders of glycoprotein metabolism and other congenital disorders of glycosylation."
In the previous version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9), the code for aspartylglycosaminuria was 277.5. This code was classified under "disorders of glycoprotein metabolism and other metabolic disorders."
Aspartylglycosaminuria is characterized by the deficiency of the enzyme aspartylglucosaminidase, leading to the accumulation of a specific substance called aspartylglucosamine in the body. This build-up can cause various symptoms including intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities, impaired vision, and speech difficulties.
