Phenylketonuria is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. PKU is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder. As an autosomal recessive disorder, two PKU alleles are required for an individual to experience symptoms of the disease. For a child to inherit PKU, both parents must have and pass on the defective gene. [17]
This is the reason that PKU and PTPS deficiency share some similar symptoms. However, since BH 4 is needed for much more than just the metabolism of Phenylalanine, there are other symptoms as well.

Phenylketonuria (PKU)-like symptoms, including more pronounced developmental defects, skin irritation, and vomiting, may appear when phenylalanine levels are near 20 mg/dL (1200 mol/L). [1] Hyperphenylalaninemia is a recessive hereditary metabolic disorder that is caused by the body's failure to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine as a result of ...
