Phenylketonuria: Overview
Phenylketonuria as known as PKU is a metabolic disorder that can adversely affect the body’s natural homeostatic or steady state and lead to chemical imbalances and severe pathological conditions. Phenylketonuria is such an example in which the normal conversion of the dietary amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine is blocked. The resulting build-up of phenylalanine and its metabolites in young patients produces a number of severe side effects including intellectual impairment and cutaneous changes. Phenylketonuria belongs to a class of aminoacidopathies termed toxic accumulation IEMs, in which the accumulation of an amino acid or its metabolite is toxic. It is an inborn error of amino acid metabolism caused by a deficient activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), an enzyme that converts essential amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine (Tyr), a nonessential amino acid that becomes essential in PKU.
Under normal circumstances, Phenylalanine (Phe) coming from the dietary contribution and endogenous protein is metabolized to Tyrosine (Tyr) by PAH with the concourse of Tetrahydrobiopterin, oxygen, and iron. In addition, Phe is converted by the action of Phe-decarboxylase to Phenylethyamine. However, patients with PKU lack PAH, and as a consequence Phe plasma levels increase achieving toxic levels in the brain. Phe in excess is converted into Phenylpyruvate, Phenylacetate, and Phenyllactate that are highly toxic for the brain. Phe competes with the other large neutral amino acids (LNAA) for the same L-type carrier (LAT-1) to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In addition, circulating Tyr decreases, and subsequently, the synthesis of metabolites such as Dopamine, Noradrenaline, and Adrenaline diminishes. The consequence of these metabolic alterations is protracted brain damage. PAH Phenylalanine hydroxylase, LNAA L-neutral amino acids, LAT1 amino acid transporter across the blood-brain barrier, BBB blood-brain barrier, Phe Phenylalanine.
PKU is typically diagnosed shortly after birth through neonatal screening, primarily using tandem mass spectrometry to evaluate Phe and Tyr levels in dried blood spots, which enhances sensitivity and reduces false negatives/positives. Traditional methods like the Guthrie test, while simple and cost-effective, are being replaced by automated, quantitative techniques such as fluorimetric testing for greater accuracy and efficiency.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is conventionally managed through nutritional therapy, requiring age-specific regulation of Phe, Tyr, protein, and energy intake. Additional treatments include large neutral amino acid supplementation to limit brain phenylalanine, enzyme replacement therapy, and BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin) therapy. Sapropterin dihydrochloride (Kuvan), a synthetic BH4 form, has shown efficacy in some PKU patients with specific PAH gene mutations. . Clinical trials have shown that a subset of ‘classical’ PKU children respond to BH4 therapy, dependent upon their PAH gene mutation(s).
