Abstract excerpt
Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiencies are highly heterogeneous disorders, with more than 30 molecular lesions identified in the past 2 years in the GTP cyclohydrolase I and 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase genes. The spectrum of mutations causing a reduction of these two biosynthetic enzymes is reviewed. Only three mutations, two present homozygously, are reported in the GTP cyclohydrolase I gene to cause the rare...
