Maternal Phenylketonuria and Hyperphenylalaninemia: An International Survey of the Outcome of Untreated and Treated Pregnancies

TL;DR: It is not clear from this review whether dietary treatment begun after conception is helpful, but treatment begun before conception should be evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetic Landscape and Epidemiology of Phenylketonuria

TL;DR: This study shows that large genotype databases enable accurate phenotype prediction, allowing appropriate targeting of therapies to optimize clinical outcome, and suggests a gradient in genotype and phenotype distribution exists across Europe, from classic PKU in the east to mild PK U in the southwest and mild hyperphenylalaninemia in the south.
Journal ArticleDOI

Let thy food be thy medicine….when possible.

TL;DR: This review discusses the recent developments in the pharma‐nutrition interface and shows some relevant mechanisms, including receptors and other targets, and examples from clinical practice, which illustrate the potential of targeted combinations of medicines with nutrition and other life‐style interventions, to increase treatment efficacy and (or) reduce adverse effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Living with Phenylketonuria: Lessons from the PKU community.

TL;DR: The practical, social and psychological issues of living with phenylketonuria (PKU) are reported from one of the largest surveys that has been completed by both adults with PKU and parents/caregivers of children.

Effectiveness of Self-Management Training in Type 2 Diabetes: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

TL;DR: Evidence supports the effectiveness of self-management training in type 2 diabetes, particularly in the short term, and further research is needed to assess the effectiveness on sustained glycemic control, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and ultimately, microvascular and cardiovascular disease and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prefrontal cortex cognitive deficits in children treated early and continuously for PKU.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the resultant modest elevation in the ratio of Phe to Tyr in the blood, which results in slightly less Tyr reaching the brain, uniquely affects the cognitive functions dependent on prefrontal cortex because of the special sensitivity of prefrontally projecting dopamine neurons to small decreases in Tyr.

Suggested guidelines for the diagnosis and management of urea cycle disorders

TL;DR: These guidelines aim at providing a trans-European consensus to guide practitioners, set standards of care and help awareness campaigns, and help to harmonise practice, set common standards and spread good practices with a positive impact on the outcomes of UCD patients.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency: diagnosis and management guideline.

TL;DR: Treatment of phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency must be life long, with a goal of maintaining blood phenyalanine in the range of 120–360 µmol/l, and any interventions, including medications, or combination of therapies that help to achieve that goal in an individual, without other negative consequences, should be considered appropriate therapy.
