Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive mutations in the 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) gene are the most common reason for hyperphenylalaninemia due to tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. We used the previously isolated PTPS cDNA as a probe and identified the human gene, PTS, located on chromosome 11q22.3-q23.3, and a retropseudogene, PTS-P1, assigned to 9p12-p13 (symbols approved by the human genome nomenclature...
