We have identified deficient biopterin synthesis in four probands and one sib with persistent postnatal hyperphenylalaninemia. The metabolic findings were associated with a benign clinical presentation and normal biopterin level in cerebrospinal fluid in the newborn period, indicating the peripheral

Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) may be caused by deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase or tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), the essential cofactor for the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. 6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) deficiency is a major cause of BH4 deficient HPA. In this study, seven singl
Antisense oligonucleotide therapy to modulate splicing mutations in inherited diseases is emerging as a treatment option also for metabolic defects. In this article, we report the effect of cellular antisense therapy to suppress pseudoexon activation in primary dermal fibroblasts from patients with
