Abstract:RFLPs of 68 normal and 74 mutant alleles at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) locus were determined in 37 French kindreds. A total of 23 haplotypes, including 18 normal and 16 mutant alleles, were observed. Two-thirds of all mutant alleles were confined within only four haplotypes, while the last third was accounted for by 12 haplotypes, including eight haplotypes absent from Caucasian pedigrees reported thus far. Several mutant haplotypes were present in typical phenylketonuria only, others were present in variants only, and some were present in both. In addition, a particular mutant haplotype (haplotype 2) was found to harbor different mutations in our series, resulting in either typical phenylketonuria or in mild hyperphenylalaninemias. The diploid combination of so many mutant haplotypes in PAH-deficient patients and of compound heterozygosity at the PAH locus in southern Europe might account for the broad spectrum of individual phenotypes observed in France.
