Descrizione obiettivo formativo di interesse nazionale: While dietary restriction of phenylalanine still remains the mainstay of treatment, Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an active area of research, and new treatment options are emerging that may reduce the burden of a difficult and limiting diet in these patients and in their families. Basic and clinical research is now focusing on the mechanisms of action of new treatment options, like sapropterin dihydrochloride (also BH4), on monoamine neurotransmitters metabolism in the brain of PKU patients. Furthermore there’s an emerging need for evidence-based international guidelines to provide standardization in treatment initiation, in evaluation of the response to therapy with sapropterin ihydrochloride, and in blood phenylalanine concentration to target. A number of papers resulting from last year’s symposium reviewed the existing scientific evidences in several aspects of PKU, identifying the current positions in its management. The European Phenylketonuria Group (EPG) and the Serono Symposia International Foundation (SSIF) consider essential to continue their series of successful meetings on PKU, and have organized the 2012 Annual Symposium dedicated to that. The aims of this meeting are to review the most important outcomes of research in the field of PKU and to provide a forum for participants to discuss solutions that can optimize patient management in clinical practice.
