Abstract
Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), due to a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme, is caused by mutations in the PAH gene. Molecular analysis in 23 Italian patients with PAH deficiency identified two novel (P281R, L287V) and 20 previously described genetic lesions in the PAH gene. The detection of the A403V amino acid substitution in combination with null mutations in patients with BH4-responsive PAH deficiency leads us to correlate it with BH4 responsiveness.
