Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Although high phenylalanine (phe) exposure has been shown to influence the DNA methylation status of leukocytes in hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), the potential of DNA methylation changes as a biomarker of pretreatment high phe exposure in diet free newborns with HPA has not been explored. We therefore investigated the DNA methylation pattern of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene promoter at...
