Description

Maternal phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare disorder of phenylalanine metabolism (see this term), an inborn error of amino acid metabolism, characterized by the development of microcephaly, growth retardation, congenital heart disease, facial dysmorphism and intellectual disability in nonphenylketonuric offspring of mothers with excess phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations.

Description

Tetrahydrobiopterin-responsive hyperphenylalaninemia/ phenylketonuria (BH4-responsive hyperphenylalaninemia/ phenylketonuria) is a form of phenylketonuria (PKU, see this term), an inborn error of amino acid metabolism, characterized by mild to moderate symptoms of PKU including impaired cognitive function, seizures, and behavioral and developmental disorders, and a marked reduction and normalization of elevated phenylalanine concentrations after oral loading with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4; sapropterin dihydrochloride), an essential cofactor of phenylalanine hydroxylase.
