Inborn errors of metabolism
Overview
• Disorders in which defects of single gene cause
clinically significant blocks in metabolic pathways
• Many kinds of disorders
• Lower incidence
• Clinical manifestations vary widely: mental
retardation, seizure, hypotonia, failure to thrive,
vomiting/anorexia, special odor, hypoglycemia,
hyperammonemia, metabolic acidosis, elevated
lactate/pyruvate etc.
Phenylketonuria
An autosomal recessive disease
The incidence of PKU in China is about
1/11 800
The incidence of PKU in Shanghai is
about 1/16 000
Phenylalanine metabolic pathway

Clinical manifestations
• to appear symptoms after 3
months of birth
• fair hair, hypopigmentation in
skin, eczema
• special odor (mouse-like)
discharged from urine,sweat
• mental retardation
• nod-like seizure or infantile
spasm
Classical PKU
PAH activity is about 0-4.4% of normal
Persistent elevation of Phe or its
metabolites is neurotoxic, the result is
profound intellectual handicap
Typical PKU symptoms
Strong positive result of urinary FeCl3
and DNPH test
Blood Phe level is 1200mol/L (
20mg/dl)
Transient PKU
Delay in PAH maturity
The Phe level was 1200mol/L at
neonatal period
The Phe level is gradually dropped to
normal even on free diet after 2-years
Dietary restriction is only temporary, if
required at all
Differential diagnosis
Tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency (BH4D)
• Deficiency of PAH cofactor -- BH4
• 6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthese (PTPS)
deficiency is the most common of BH4D
• The incidence of BH4D is 10% among HPA
patients in Chinese
• The blood Phe is slightly increased at early stage
in most patients
• Some cases were missdiagnosed as having PAH
deficiency
Neonatal Screening for PKU
No PKU symptoms in neonatal period
higher Phe level in blood
Neonatal screening program can make
diagnosis, treatment earlier and prevent
mental retardation
NS program has been carried out in China
since 1981
Neonatal Screening method
Subject:
• Newborns who should be breast-fed for 3
days after birth
• Method of Phe determination on Guthrie
cardby bacterial inhibition assay (semiquantity) or fluorescence analysis, the
positive cut off of Phe is 120umol/L

Laboratory findings
Urine FeCl3 test and DNPH test used in
clinical screening for PKU
Blood Phe measurement
Urinary pterin analysis by HPLC
BH4 loading test
PAH gene analysis, common PAH gene
mutations are in exon 7 in Chinese PKUs
Treatment
Low or free Phe milk powder was
developed in 1953
Low-Phe diet can not only provide
proper protein, but also reduce the Phe
taking
Phe restriction should be continued at
least 18 years old or throughout life
Female patients must be treated before
and whole pregnancy to avoid maternal
PKU
The series products of low-Phe diet
Milk powder
• component: Protein 15%, Fat 8%,CHO 68%
• two kinds of:
free Phe formula
low-Phe formula
• Flour,Biscuitpure,aminoacid powder
Control range of blood Phe level in different
age for treated PKU/HPA

Treatment for BH4D
• To
control Phe concentration <120 mol/L
BH4 tablet 2~10mg.Kg-1.d-1
• to improve neurological symptoms
L-DOPA/ Carbidopa 5-15mg.Kg-1.d-1
5-hydroxytryptophan 5-10mg.Kg-1.d-1
• Patient with DHPR deficiency should be
treated with BH4(20mg.Kg-1.d-1) and given
folic acid(10-20mg/d) as well as
neurotransmitte precursors
PKU patients at the 2 years old
