Abstract excerpt
We report two new patients with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-responsive phenylketonuria and compare their phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genotypes (A395P/ IVS12+g>a and R261Q/165T, respectively) to those of previous cases from the literature. These case observations confirm earlier reports stating that BH4-responsive patients are frequently carriers of a missense mutation within the DNA region coding for the...
