Recommendations for the nutrition management of phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
The effectiveness of a phenylalanine-restricted diet to improve the outcome of individuals with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (OMIM no. 261600) has been recognized since the first patients were treated 60 years ago. However, the treatment regime is complex, costly, and often difficult to maintain for the long term.

The aim of this study was to determine whether any relationship exists between the severity of mutation of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene and the plasma concentrations of phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr) under fasting and semifasting conditions among heterozygotes in a matched case-control study.

Tetrahydrobiopterin‐responsive phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency in Dutch neonates
AbstractFour neonates with a positive phenylalanine screening test (Phe concentrations between 258 and 1250 μmol/L) were investigated further to differentiate between phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency and variant hyperphenylalaninaemia (HPA) forms. In patients 1 and 2 a tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) load caused a significant decrease of the plasma

Phenylketonuria and glycogen storage disease type III in sibs of one family
Hyperphenylalaninemia result from a block in the conversion of phenylalanine into tyrosine due to a defect in either the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (98% of subjects) or in the metabolism of the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin.

R2Tg retrotransposon mediated targeted integration of exogenous genes into the 28S rDNA locus in mammalian cell lines for PKU gene therapy [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) remains a challenging genetic disorder due to the absence of therapeutic strategies capable of achieving sustained restoration of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) function.

Mapping the Severity of Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Since the 1960s, phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency can be detected via newborn screening, allowing early start of treatment to prevent severe intellectual disability. Precise determination of PAH deficiency severity continues to be hampered by several factors. Nevertheless, as therapeutic options
