Abstract excerpt
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency is caused by genetic variants in the three genes involved in de novo cofactor biosynthesis, GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH/GCH1), 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS/PTS), sepiapterin reductase (SR/SPR), and the two genes involved in cofactor recycling, carbinolamine-4α-dehydratase (PCD/PCBD1) and dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR/QDPR). Dysfunction in BH4 metabolism leads...
