Recommendations for the nutrition management of phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics in Medicine, 2014
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.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase mutations and phenylalanine-tyrosine metabolism in heterozygotes for phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, 2002
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

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2001
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

The analysis of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene mutations by sequencing and ARMS techniques in Turkish patients

open access: yesÇukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2016
Purpose: Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive deficiency of the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. With this study, detection of the most frequent phenylalanine hydroxylase gene mutations in Turkish population is aimed. Material and Methods:

Phenylketonuria and glycogen storage disease type III in sibs of one family

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genome Editing
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]

open access: yesJ Inherit Metab Dis
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
