Abstract excerpt
Hyperphenylalaninemia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by a wide range of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene variants. To study the effects of mutations on PAH activity, we have reproduced five mutations (p.N223Y, p.R297L, p.F382L, p.K398N and p.Q419R) that we recently identified in a population of Southern Italy. Transient expression of mutant full-length cDNAs in human HEK293 cells yielded...
