Symbol : PKU;

CISMeF acronym : PKU;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency; Pah deficiency; Oligophrenia phenylpyruvica; Folling disease;

Description : Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism resulting from a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH; 612349), an enzyme that catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine, the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. If undiagnosed and untreated, phenylketonuria can result in impaired postnatal cognitive development resulting from a neurotoxic effect of hyperphenylalaninemia (Zurfluh et al., 2008). See Scriver (2007) and Blau et al. (2010) for detailed reviews of PKU.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene (PAH, 261600.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Increased urinary o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, phenylpyruvic acid, phenylacetic acid and phenylacetylglutamine;

Prefixed ID : #261600;
