Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Residual phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) activity is the key determinant for the phenotype severity in phenylketonuria (PKU) patients and correlates with the patient's genotype. Activity of in vitro expressed mutant PAH may predict the patient's phenotype and response to tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)), the cofactor of PAH. METHODS: A robust LC-ESI-MSMS PAH assay for the quantification of phenylalanine...
