چکیده

A neonate presented with hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), with a persistently elevated phenylalanine/tyrosine ratio. The HPA was responsive to tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). His clinical course was dominated by liver failure, associated with perinatal hemochromatosis. He also developed renal tubulopathy. HPA has not previously been reported in association with any of these features. We investigated the etiology of his condition, and discuss the possibility that this represents a novel single-gene disorder.
