Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

Tetrahydrobiopterin Loading Test in Hyperphenylalaninemia [PDF]
Some cases of primary hyperphenylalaninemia are not caused by the lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase, but by the lack of its cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin. These patients are not clinically responsive to a phenylalanine-restricted diet, but need specific substitution therapy. Thus, it became necessary to examine all newborns screened as positive with the

Cross Sectional Study of Prenatal Diagnosis Uptake Among Individuals With Genetic Conditions
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal diagnostic genetic testing allows for early identification of significant fetal conditions and enables informed decision‐making regarding management options. The aim of this study was to assess prenatal testing practice among individuals with genetic conditions.

Increased Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis in Phenylketonuria
In phenylketonuria (PKU), elevated phenylalanine (Phe) increases hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and thyroid hormones, enhancing brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in patients. Central FGF21 reproduces this phenotype in rodents via reduced hypothalamic AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity in the ventromedial nucleus of the ...

A Novel Multimodal LC–MS/MS Panel for the Comprehensive Diagnosis of Neurometabolic Disorders in CSF
ABSTRACT Metabolic testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential for early diagnosis of neurometabolic disorders. However, the large number of differential diagnoses, the phenotypic variance within a clinical picture, and the disease rarity complicate targeted metabolic diagnostics.

Psychopathological Risk Assessment in Children with Hyperphenylalaninemia
Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare congenital disorder caused by decreased metabolism of phenylalanine determining cerebral impairments. If untreated, PKU might lead to intellectual disability, seizures and behavioral disorders.

Cognitive and behavioral impairment in mild hyperphenylalaninemia
As elevated phenylalanine (Phe) is detrimental to brain functions, determining a safe upper limit of blood Phe is important for initiation of treatment plans and setting Phe targets in hyperphenlalaninemic patients.

ABSTRACT Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism leading to phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation and consequent neurological, neurocognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. Pegvaliase, a pegylated recombinant phenylalanine ammonia lyase that metabolizes Phe, effectively reduced blood Phe in phase III studies in the United States. This multicenter,

Antioxidant status in hyperphenylalaninemia
Abnormal oxidative stress was observed in some inborn errors of metabolism owing to the accumulation of toxic metabolites leading to excessive free radical production and to the influence of restricted diets on the antioxidant status. Erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes activities and tocopherol concentrations were measured in a group of phenylketonuric (n
