Clinical implications of genetic and acquired defects in catecholamine synthesis and metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

All major enzymes involved in catecholamine synthesis and metabolism have been cloned. In addition to some genetic defects of these enzymes responsible for well-defined clinical syndromes, several enzymatic abnormalities may be due to environmental (e.g. pharmacological and nutritional) or biological (e.g. aging) factors, which may modify genome expression. The enzymes involved in catecholamine metabolism either...
