(F) Newborn Screening 2 Flashcards
severe deficiency of PAH (Phenul Alanine Hydroxylase)
PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU)
In minority of cases, the one enzyme that is deficient is?
Dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR).
In majority of cases, the one that is deficient is?
Phenylalanine hydroxylase
PKU
The Dihydrobiopterin is recycled and eventually reconverted to Tetrahydrobiopterin in a reaction that is catalyzed by
Dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR)
PKU
TOF. 2% due to abnormalities in synthesis or recycling of tetrahydrobipterin.
(F) dihydrobiopterin
True dapat
pero nirerecycle pa rin yung Dihydrobiopterin is recycled para ireconvert siya into tetra
PKU
(+) Present in urine and sweat, making these fluids smell with a musty or mousy odor, except:
A. phenylpyruvic acid
B. phenylacetic acid
C. o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid
D. phenyllatic acid
E. propionic acidemia
E
PKU
The formation of acids present in urine and sweat is a pathway called?
Minor shunt pathway
PKU
TOF. Patients appear at Normal at birth → Mental
Retardation at 10 years of age
F (6 months)
PKU
The skin is prone to develop?
eczema
PKU
Treatment
Restriction of phenylalanine intake; gene therapy
Most common condition among Newborn Screening (NBS) panel of disorders.
G6PD Deficiency
G6PD
Patients can have Episodic hemolytic anemia from
exposure to oxidative substances which are the following except:
A. sulfonamides
B. nitrofurantoins
C. antimalarials
D. primaquine, and chloroquine
E. NOTA
E
G6PD
Trigger Foods?
Most frequent fava beans
While waiting for the test result, parents should not expose their child to?
mothballs
can trigger hemolysis in those with G6PD deficiency
Glucose-6-PO4 dehydrogenase (G6PD) reduces Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to?
NADPH
G6PD
NADPH converts Glucose-
6-phosphate to?
6-Phosphogluconate
G6PD
This provides reducing equivalence needed for the conversion of Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to Reduced glutathione (GSH).
NADPH
G6PD
NADPH protexts against injury by catalyzing the breakdown of compounds, such as?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, Agua Oxinada) to water (H2O)
