We describe a method of screening for dihydropteridine reductase deficiency and dihydrobiopterin synthesis deficiency--the two inherited defects that cause tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency--using blood spots on Guthrie cards. Dihydropteridine reductase deficiency may be identified positively, and a biopterin value of less than 6.0 micrograms/l in the presence of hyperphenylalaninaemia indicates further investigation for dihydrobiopterin synthesis deficiency.
我们描述了一种利用格思里卡片上的血斑来筛查二氢蝶啶还原酶缺乏症和二氢生物蝶呤合成缺乏症的方法,这两种遗传性缺陷会导致四氢生物蝶呤缺乏。二氢蝶啶还原酶缺乏症可以得到明确诊断,在高苯丙氨酸血症情况下,生物蝶呤值低于6.0微克/升表明需进一步检查二氢生物蝶呤合成缺乏症。
