Abstract : Analysis of seven Indian phenylketonuria families has revealed four novel mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene; two affected consensus splice sequence and the 3′ UTR, respectively, while the other two were single base insertion and deletion mutations, respectively. A novel 3′ splice site mutation c.168-2AG resulted in the activation of a cryptic 3′ splice site that generated a premature termination codon leading to very low levels of the mutant transcript, probably due to activation of the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. This is probably the first report of PKU caused by the activation of NMD. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
