Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The building of a quantitative relationship between genotype and phenotype would be great helpful for better clinical monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. As the phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase, in this study we build a descriptively quantitative relationship between mutant phenylalanine hydroxylase and classifications of phenylketonuria. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: The built relationship paves the way for modeling of this type relationship for better clinical monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
