Abstract excerpt
Molecular characterization of PAH deficiency has been proven essential in establishing treatment options. We examine the diagnostic accuracy of two genetic assays to predict BH4 responsiveness: to determine whether the AV sum test or mutation-status assessment test can obviate the need for BH4 loading in Chinese patients. The overall predicted response in 346 patients was 31.65% by the AV sum test and 25.43% by...
