LP15544-7 Dopamine beta-hydroxylase
A deficiency of norepinephrine and epinephrine that causes orthostatic hypotension, nasal stuffiness, and droopy eyelids (ptosis) among other symptoms. Some people refer to this as norepinephrine deficiency. It is caused by largely increased amounts of serum dopamine and release of dopamine in place of norepinephrine. It is difficult for people with this to stand still for longer than one minute. Another symptom is hypoglycemia which is thought to be caused by adrenomedullary failure and the T-wave abnormalities from failure of noradrenergic control. Also, prolactin is frequently suppressed by excessive dopamine. This can also have an impact on digestion. People with dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency may have a paradoxical response to NRI antidepressant medication such as Edronax -- they may experience more depression, less energy, and become more sleepy. This is a form of dysautonomia but differentiated from familial dysautonomia by lack of familial dysautonomic symptoms such as loss of sense of pain and smell.
