Abstract excerpt
The phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency trait is heterogeneous with a continuum of metabolic phenotypes ranging from classical phenylketonuria (PKU) to mild hyperphenylalaninaemia (MHP). More than 200 mutations in the PAH gene are associated with PAH deficiency. From theoretical considerations or in vitro expression studies each mutation has a particular influence on enzyme activity, which explains the...
