Maternal hyperphenylalaninemia fetal effects

Maternal hyperphenylalaninemia fetal effects

A Lipson et al. J Pediatr. 1984 Feb.

Abstract

Thirty-four children of 11 mothers with untreated hyperphenylalaninemia had a pattern of malformation consisting of prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly and central nervous system dysfunction, increased incidence of malformations, and a peculiar facial appearance. Maternal hyperphenylalaninemia appears to be teratogenic, with a variability related to the blood phenylalanine concentration.
