    This study identifies a rare metabolic disorder in a neonate with hyperphenylalaninemia and a transamination defect. The findings highlight impaired phenylalanine metabolism, crucial for understanding neonatal metabolic screening.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Medical Genetics
    • Neonatal Medicine

    Background:

    • Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) is a condition characterized by elevated blood phenylalanine levels.
    • Early diagnosis and management are critical to prevent neurological complications.

    Observation:

    • A female neonate presented with slowly rising blood phenylalanine concentrations.
    • Urinary aromatic acid excretion showed minimal phenylpyruvic acid, atypical for phenylketonuria.
    • Phenylalanine tolerance tests indicated a defect in transamination.

    Findings:

    • The neonate's condition was classified as hyperphenylalaninemia with a transamination defect.
    • A progressive decline in blood phenylalanine levels was observed at which transamination initiated.
    • Metabolic investigations suggest a specific enzyme deficiency affecting phenylalanine breakdown.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of HPA heterogeneity.
    • Highlights the importance of comprehensive metabolic profiling beyond standard newborn screening.
    • Suggests potential targets for future therapeutic interventions in amino acid metabolism disorders.
