Chapter 14 Phenylketonuria (PKU) Disorder occurs in one in 15,000 births. Individuals accumulate amino acid phenylalanine and its derivative phenylpyruvate in the blood to toxic levels. http://teacher.edmonds.wednet.edu/lhs/mcaesar/documents/ch._14_2009_mendelan_gen

Extractions: Slide arrow to your week: back next You are here: Birth Newborn Baby in the first six weeks Phenylketonuria Phenylketonuria (or PKU) is a rare inherited disorder where the baby has an absence, or low level, of a liver enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase. This enzyme is needed to break down part of the protein in the diet called phenylalanine, an amino acid (one of many amino acids that make up protein).
BBlue Diaper Syndrome And Phenylketonuria Maisa Haddad One of interest and that was not limited on information was the phenylketonuria (PKU) disorder. This was also caused by inborn error's of amino acid metabolism. http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~jcthomas/JCTHOMAS/1997 Case Studies/M Haddad.
Extractions: Blue diaper syndrome is an inborn error of amino acid metabolism. The amino acid tryptophan is malabsorped in the intestinal lining of newborn infants. The syndrome is known to be an autosomal recessive trait. It is believed that a mutation in the tryptophan transport protein causes a baby's diaper to turn blue once the urine touches the diaper. This was caused by the bacteria that acted on urine precursor's to produce a compound that turned indigo blue upon contact with air.Unfortenutely there was limited information on blue diaper syndrome , but there were other disorders that were caused by inborn error's of amino acid metabolism. One of interest and that was not limited on information was the phenylketonuria (PKU) disorder. This was also caused by inborn error's of amino acid metabolism. It is caused by the deficiency of the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH).The amino acid phenylalanine is malabsorped because there is low concentration's of the PAH enzyme. Since there are low concentration of this enzyme , the amino acid is not being absorbed like it normally should. Therefore, there is an accumulation of the phenylalanine in the serum, which causes mental retardation in newborns. The difference with PKU is that there is lots of information on the disorder and actual experiments that have been done. An example is the RFLP hapotype analysis of the PAH locus in a German PKU family . A novel MspI site in one of the mutant alles was observed. The site was caused by a T to C transition in exon 9 of the gene and resulted in the substitution of leucine by proline at residue 311 of the protein (Konecki 2882). Mutagenesis and expression analyses have verified that the amino acid subsitution caused the lack of accumulation of the corresponding protein and the neucleotide substitution must represent a novel mutation in the PAH gene that causes PKU(konecki 2883). DNA sequencing of a fragment of the normal and mutant human PAH showed the T to C transition within the exon 9 gene.

Extractions: In fact, there are other foodstuffs that we ingest that supply as much and sometimes even more methanol, eg, citrus fruits and juices, and tomatoes or tomato juice. Thus, in the final analysis this methanol is the same as from other sources of food and in the quantities consumed from aspartame, it is readily and naturally metabolized via the one-carbon biochemical cycle to entirely innocuous and natural body components.
