  2. Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrobiopterin_deficiency

    Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency (THBD, BH 4 D) is a rare metabolic disorder that increases the blood levels of phenylalanine.Phenylalanine is an amino acid obtained normally through the diet, but can be harmful if excess levels build up, causing intellectual disability and other serious health problems.

  3. 6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin...

    PTPS deficiency is not necessarily its own disease. It shares history with PKU and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) . Asbjørn Følling, a physician studying metabolic diseases, identified an excess of phenylpyruvate as the cause of a strange, musty odor from the urine of two Norwegian children. [13]

  4. Hyperphenylalaninemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphenylalaninemia

    Hyperphenylalaninemia is a recessive hereditary metabolic disorder that is caused by the body's failure to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine as a result of the entire or partial absence of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. [3]

  5. Aromatic amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_amino_acid

    Tyrosine is semi-essential; therefore, it can be synthesized by the animal, but only from phenylalanine. Phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder that occurs as a result of the inability to breakdown phenylalanine, is due to a lack of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. A dietary lack of tryptophan can cause stunted skeletal development. [9]

  6. Hawkinsinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkinsinuria

    Hawkinsinuria is an autosomal dominant metabolic disorder affecting the metabolism of tyrosine. [1] [2] Normally, the breakdown of the amino acid tyrosine involves the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to homogentisate by 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase. Complete deficiency of this enzyme would lead to tyrosinemia III. In rare cases ...

  7. Tyrosinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosinemia

    It is a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1) in combination with dietary restriction of tyrosine and phenylalanine. [7] Liver transplant is indicated for patients with tyrosinemia type I who do not respond to nitisinone, as well as those with acute liver failure and ...

  8. Tyrosinemia type I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosinemia_type_I

    The prescribed diet for treatment of HT1 is low in protein. Patients received amino acid supplements lacking tyrosine and phenylalanine, most often by drinking a specially engineered formula, in order to acquire sufficient protein. It is recommended that tyrosine levels remain below 500 μmol/L. [5] Phenylalnine is the precursor to tyrosine ...

  9. Sepiapterin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepiapterin

    Deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin can cause toxic buildup of phenylalanine (phenylketonuria) as well as deficiencies of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, leading to dystonia and other neurological illnesses. This has led to clinical study of sepiapterin in humans to treat tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency.
