Saudi aminoacidemias: a six-year study
Abstract
More than 2,500 samples were analyzed and we found 135 abnormal amino acid patients in different categories. The major four diseases are: Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), Phenylketonuria (PKU) both classical PKU due to L-phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency and 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase (6PTPS) deficiency, homocystinuria and Tyrosinemia.
