Phenylketonuria

open access: yesLancet, The, 2010
Phenylketonuria is the most prevalent disorder caused by an inborn error in aminoacid metabolism. It results from mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. Phenotypes can vary from a very mild increase in blood phenylalanine concentrations to a severe classic phenotype with pronounced hyperphenylalaninaemia, which, if untreated, results in ...

Genetics of Phenylketonuria: Heterozygosity for phenylketonuria

Nature, 1967
The first article deals with the problem of using the response to injected phenylalanine to determine whether or not the subject is heterozygous for phenylketonuria. The second article suggests a third allele on the phenylketonuria locus, the corresponding enzyme having a higher affinity for phenylalanine than has the “normal” enzyme.

Autism and Phenylketonuria

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2003
Phenylketonuria (PKU) has been also reported in children with infantile autism (IA); however, the frequency of this association is variably reported. Patients with various forms of hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) were evaluated applying two methods: the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). A total of 243

Maternal Phenylketonuria

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1986
AbstractPregnant women with untreated phenylketonuria (PKU) with blood phenylalanine levels greater than 1200 µmol/L usually give birth to offspring with congenital birth defects, including microcephaly, cardiac defects and mental retardation. According to Mabry and Levy, hyperphenylalaninaemic (HPA) women with blood phenylalanine levels between 600 ...

Hypophosphatasia with phenylketonuria

Zeitschrift f�r Kinderheilkunde, 1974
Hypophosphatasia and phenylketonuria have been encountered in a 9-month-old male infant as two independent inborn errors of metabolism. The pathognomonic triad of bony demineralization, subnormal alkaline phosphatase levels and increased excretion of phosphoethanolamine established the diagnosis of hypophosphatasia.

Phenylketonuria and scleroderma

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1968
A diagnosis of scleroderma and phenylketonuria was made in an 18-month-old girl. This is the third recorded incidence of the association of these two disorders. Following institution of a low phenylalanine diet, there was softening of the severe sclerodermatous lesions on the trunk and lower extremities, although new lesions have slowly developed on ...

Phenylketonuria And Maternal Phenylketonuria

2005
Abstract Phenylketonuria (PKU) may be the most thoroughly studied inherited metabolic disorder, a disorder in which the consequences can be multigenerational and can have significantly different outcomes. A neonate may be born with PKU or may be an offspring of a woman with maternal phenylketonuria (MPKU).
