GTP-cyclohydrolase I gene mutations in patients with autosomal dominant and recessive GTP-CH1 deficiency: identification and functional characterization of four novel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

GTP-cyclohydrolase I (GTP-CH1, EC 3.5.4.16) is encoded by the GCH1 gene. Mutations in the GCH1 gene cause both dopa-responsive dystonia (McKusick 128230) and recessive GTP-CH1 deficiency (McKusick 600225). The exact molecular mechanism resulting in decreased GTP-CH1 activity in the patients is still obscure. We report the clinical features and molecular and functional study of the GCH1 gene in eight Italian...
