DAO Deficiency and Associated pathologies

It is an alteration in the metabolism of dietary histamine that occurs when the activity of the Diamine Oxidase (DAO) enzyme is reduced, that is, when for certain causes (genetic alterations, diseases or consumption of certain drugs) a considerable deficiency in the functional activity of the main enzyme in the metabolization of histamine is created.

What is DAO Deficiency?

It is an alteration in the metabolism of food histamine that occurs when the activity of the Diamine Oxidase (DAO) enzyme is reduced. That

Origin of DAO deficiency

The main reason for enzyme dysfunction has a genetic origin.

This justifies the recent belief that chronic pathologies such as migraine are hereditary, when in

Diagnosis of DAO Deficiency

There are two ways in which the diagnosis can be made: the molecular genetic study of Diamine Oxidase (DAO) activity (AOC1-V) and/or the in
