The association of phenylketonuria with leucodystrophy.
نویسنده
چکیده
A case of phenylketonuria presented below was associated with leucodystrophy (Schilder's disease), a combination previously observed by other workers in three older phenylketonuric patients. The present case was the oldest patient in a series of six phenylketonuric individuals coming to necropsy and examined pathologically at this hospital. None of the other patients, four of whom were reported by Crome and Pare (1960), showed similar changes. The primary object of this report is to draw attention to this association of the two conditions which may prove to be significant for the understanding of the pathogenesis and natural history of both phenylketonuria and leucodystrophy.

Pancytopenia Revealing Phenylketonuria: Coincidence or First Case Report
Pancytopenia in childhood can be caused by a variety of underlying diseases including hematological and non-hematological entities. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of phenylalanine metabolism. No association between PKU and pancytopenia has ever been reported. We report the first case of PKU revealed by a pancytopenia at presentation. The patient was an infant girl born to healthy non-...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder of amino acid metabolism. Thedisease is caused mainly by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, encoding phenylalaninehydroxylase (PAH) enzyme. The PAH enzyme deficiency results in the elevation of phenylalanine inthe blood, which may cause severe irreversible mental retardation in the affect...

Rapid and in time diagnosis of phenylketonuria (PKU) in affected infants can help preventing the progress of mental and developmental disorders associated with the disease. Here we report the isolation of alkaliphilic Bacillus bacteria capable of producing high level of Phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) from soil. A new quantitative and rapid test for PKU diagnosis was then developed using th...
