Overview
PKU is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the PAH gene. The mutation results in a deficiency/absence of the phenylalanine hydroxlyase enzyme that normally catalyzes phenylalanine to tyrosine.
Causes
- PKU is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the PAH gene.
- The mutation results in a deficiency/absence of the phenylalanine hydroxlyase enzyme that normally catalyzes phenylalanine to tyrosine.
- To date, 877 mutations have been identified.[1][2]
