Sentence |
denotes |
A 3-base pair in-frame deletion of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene results in a kinetic variant of phenylketonuria. |

| TextSentencer_T2 |
119-246 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disease due to deficiency of a hepatic enzyme, phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). |
| T2 |
119-246 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disease due to deficiency of a hepatic enzyme, phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
247-389 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The absence of PAH activity results in typical PKU while persistence of a residual enzyme activity gives rise to variant forms of the disease. |
| T3 |
247-389 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The absence of PAH activity results in typical PKU while persistence of a residual enzyme activity gives rise to variant forms of the disease. |

390-656 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We report here a 3-base pair in-frame deletion of the PAH gene (delta 194) in a mild variant, with markedly reduced affinity of the enzyme for phenylalanine (Km = 160 nM), and we provide functional evidence for responsibility of the deletion in the mutant phenotype. |

| TextSentencer_T5 |
657-857 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Since the deletion was located in the third exon of the gene, which presents no homology with other hydroxylases, we suggest that exon 3 is involved in the specificity of the enzyme for phenylalanine. |

Sentence |
denotes |
Since the deletion was located in the third exon of the gene, which presents no homology with other hydroxylases, we suggest that exon 3 is involved in the specificity of the enzyme for phenylalanine. |

858-1078 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, since none of the 98 PKU patients tested were found to carry this particular deletion, our study suggests that this molecular event probably occurred recently on the background of a haplotype 2 gene in Portugal. |
