## Abstract We report the case of a 44‐year‐old woman with a partial 6‐pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase (6‐PTS) deficiency, whose predominant clinical symptom was generalized dystonia with marked diurnal fluctuation. Dystonia was present in the eyelids, oromandibular region, trunk, and extremitie

6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTS), a key enzyme in the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin in man, is defective in the most frequent variant of tetrahydrobiopterin-deficient hyperphenylalaninaemia (atypical phenylketonuria). An assay for PTS activity in erythrocytes was developed. It is based

The enzyme 6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTS) deficiency is the major cause of BH 4 -deficient HPA. The frequency of BH 4 -deficient HPA was estimated to be around 30% among Chinese HPA population in Taiwan, which is much higher than that in Caucasian population (1.5-2% of HPA). Approximatel
