BACKGROUND: The identification of gene variants plays an important role in the diagnosis of genetic diseases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To develop a rapid method for the diagnosis of phenylketonuria (PKU) and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency, we designed a multiplex, PCR-based primer panel to amplify all the exons and flanking regions (50 bp average) of six PKU-associated genes (PAH, PTS, GCH1, QDPR,...
