Blood phenylalanine fluctuation in phenylketonuric children treated by BH4 or low-phenylalanine diet from birth

Scientific Reports, 2023
The prognosis of phenylketonuria (PKU) is related to the quality of metabolic control all life-long. PKU treatment is based on a low-Phe diet, 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatment for the BH4-responsive PKU patients or enzyme replacement therapy ...
