What Causes Myoadenylate Deaminase Deficiency?

Hi I have been diagnosed with Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency. Just wondering if you could give me a basic run down of the condition. How are all the cells, enzymes, molecules, protein levels, bilirubin levels and ATP connected and how do they get effected. I have some info but it s all a little confusing. Just any info would be great. Is the deficiency causing low protein levels, high bilirubin levels? Regards Mel
