Preferred Name

phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency

Synonyms

PAH deficiency

phenylalanine-4-hydroxilase deficiency

Definitions

PAH deficiency is a congenital metabolic disorder characterized by reduced activity (deficiency in activity) of the enzyme phenylalanine-4-hydroxilaze, that is caused by two recessive mutated PAH alleles in the inherited PAH genome. PAH deficiency (and hypephenylalalninemia, and PKU, respectively) has autosomal recessive inheritance pattern with most cases in compound heterozygous state (genetic compound) where both maternal and paternal PAH alleles are differently mutated and present at chromosome 12.
