SLC7A5 and phenylketonuria: We assessed the effect of a common variant (rs113883650) of the LAT1(SLC7A5) gene, which encodes the main transmembrane phenylalanine transporter, on the development of overweight in 54 infants with PKU who received standard therapy and adhered well to therapeutic prescriptions, and in 55 infants with a milder disease form—the so-called mild hyperphenylalaninemia (MHP), which does not require treatment.
