PKU clinical presentation
Musty body odor
mental retardation
growth retardation
Seizures eczemia
Fair Skin
PKU treatment
Decrease phenylalanine (contained in aspartame [nutrasweet])
Increase Tyrosine in diet
PKU MOA
Phenylpyruvic acid build up causes the problems
↓phenylalanine hydroxylase OR ↓ tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor
Tyrosine becomes essential, deceased 5HT and DA
↑Phenylalanine leads to phenylketones in urine
Maternal PKU
Lack of proper dietary therapy during pregnancy -->microcephaly, mental retardation, growth retardation, and congenital heart defects.
What leads to the musty body odor in PKU?
Disorder of aromatic amino acid metabolism --> musty body odor
Gene deletion in CF?
Autosomal recessive defect in CFTR gene on long arm of chromosome 7
MOA of CF?`
Lungs: deceased Cl- secretion --> decreased Na+ --> deceased H20 movement --> Super thick mucus

Pancreas: plugs cause decrease in fat digestion --> smelly, frothy, malbosption steatorrhea

Reproductive: no cilia = infertile
Dx of CF?
Sweat test: salty kids
>50 is +

Look at stool: malabsorption
Presentation of CF?
chronic cough, apathetic, past hx of several infections and is smaller than other classmates
***
Commonly associated bugs with CF?
Aspergillus
Pseudomonas
What can make a HUGE difference in CF patients?
partial upregulation of CFTR!
***
