Abstract excerpt
We describe a mutation analysis for the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene and the clinical outcome of two Japanese patients with non-phenylketonuria (PKU) hyperphenylalaninemia (serum phenylalanine level below 600 mumol/l under a free diet) detected by a mass-screening program. Single strand conform...
