Abstract excerpt
The hyperphenylalaninemic disorders of classic phenylketonuria (PKU), mild phenylketonuria, and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), result from a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) or its cofactor (tetrahydrobiopterin). Use of the complementary DNA of this enzyme has allowed the establishment of a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) haplotype-analysis system. This haplotype...
