Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PheOH) deficiency is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The associated hyperphenylalaninemia phenotype is highly variable, primarily due to great allelic heterogeneity in the PAH locus. The goal of our study was to assess the relationship between individual PAH locus mutations and biochemical and metabolic phenotypes in phenylketonuria (PKU) and mild...
