Issue Date: | 2015 | Source: | 4 , 2015, p. 87-88 | Pages: | 87-88 | Journal: | Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports | Abstract: | Previous research shows consistent and marked executive function impairment in children with early and continuously treated phenylketonuria. This between groups analysis (phenylketonuria group vs sibling controls) found no significant differences in executive function (although adolescents with phenylketonuria performed slightly worse than their siblings). Biochemical relationships with executive function were confined to long-term measures of high phenylalanine:tyrosine ratio exposure, as well as tyrosine exposure independent of phenylalanine. This study suggests that early and continuously treated PKU results in non-significant EF differences (compared to siblings), although the influence of long-term exposure to poorer metabolic control is still evident.L6056281222015-08-24 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ymgmr.2015.08.001 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L605628122&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ymgmr.2015.08.001 | | Keywords: | clinical article;early intervention;executive function;female;human;long term exposure;male;adolescent;phenylketonuria;scoring system;sibling;phenylalaninetyrosine;metabolic regulation;article;biochemical analysis;biochemistry | Type: | Article |
