Motor function under lower and higher controlled processing demands in early and continuously treated phenylketonuria.
This study examined motor control in 61 early and continuously treated patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) and 69 control participants, aged 7 to 14 years. The pursuit task demanded concurrent planning and execution of unpredictable movements, whereas the tracking task required a highly automated circular movement that could be planned in advance. PKU patients showed significantly poorer motor ...

متن کاملMR imaging-based volumetry in patients with early-treated phenylketonuria.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to specify the most severely affected brain structures in early treated phenylketonuria regarding volume loss and establish possible correlations between volume loss and plasma levels of phenylalanine (Phe). METHODS In 31 patients with early treated phenylketonuria and in 27 healthy volunteers, we acquired volumetric MR imaging data. Serum Phe concentrat...
متن کاملImpaired sensitivity to visual contrast in children treated early and continuously for phenylketonuria.
Contrast sensitivity was assessed in 47 children aged 5.4-9.8 years: 12 with phenylketonuria (PKU), six unaffected siblings and 29 children from the general population. Children with PKU, despite early and continuous treatment and despite phenylalanine (Phe) levels within accepted limits, were impaired across the range of spatial frequencies [1.5-18.0 cycles per degree of visual angle (c.p.d.)]...
