Abstract excerpt
Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency or phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common cause of hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), and approximately 5% of patients remain genetically unsolved. Identifying deep intronic PAH variants may help improve their molecular diagnostic rate. Next-generation sequencing was utilized to detect the whole PAH gene in 96 patients with genetically unsolved HPA from 2013 to 2022. The...
