[3] [4] Elevated levels of tryptophan are also seen in Hartnup disease, [5] a disorder of amino acid transport. [6]
The failure of amino-acid transport was reported in 1960 from the increased presence of indoles (bacterial metabolites of tryptophan) and tryptophan in the urine of patients as part of a generalized aminoaciduria of the disease. The excessive loss of tryptophan from malabsorption was the cause of the pellagra like symptoms. From studies on ...
