Metabolic Control and Frequency of Clinical Monitoring Among Canadian Children With Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency: A Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Achieving and maintaining metabolic control is critical for children with phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency. This retrospective longitudinal cohort study investigated metabolic control and monitoring frequency of children with PAH deficiency (≤ 12 years) treated at one of 12 pediatric metabolic centres across Canada.

Personalized Genotype-Based Approach for Treatment of Phenylketonuria. [PDF]
Modeling the residual enzyme activity of PAH genotypes allows for personalized prediction of patient phenotype and BH4‐treatment response. ABSTRACT Extensive studies have examined the clinical manifestations, pathogenic mechanisms, and genetic variations of phenylketonuria (PKU) across different populations, resulting in a substantial collection of ...

Long-term safety of sapropterin in paediatric and adult individuals with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency: Final results of the Kuvan® Adult Maternal Paediatric European Registry multinational observational study. [PDF]
Abstract Phenylketonuria is a rare inherited disorder that disrupts the metabolism of phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine by phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). Sapropterin dihydrochloride (Kuvan®) is approved for use in Europe to reduce blood Phe levels and improve Phe tolerance in sapropterin‐responsive individuals. KAMPER (NCT01016392) is an observational,

Sapropterin dihydrochloride for phenylketonuria [PDF]
Phenylketonuria results from a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. Dietary restriction of phenylalanine keeps blood phenylalanine concentration low. Most natural foods are excluded from diet and supplements are used to supply other nutrients.

Recommendations on phenylketonuria in Turkey
Background. Phenylketonuria (PKU), is an autosomal recessive disease leading to the conversion defect of phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine. Severe neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes are observed in untreated cases.
