Abstract excerpt
Mutation at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) locus is a cause of hyperphenylalaninaemia. Genotype-phenotype correlation relative to the predicted PAH activity may differ at the metabolite level and at the IQ level in untreated phenylketonuria. Discordant metabolic phenotypes have been noted in siblings; influences on transport and metabolism of phenylalanine determining homeostasis may account for differing...
