Alone we are rare. Together we are strong.â¥ Donate Today Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive disorder characterized by high blood pressure (hypertension) in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary artery) for no apparent reason. The pulmonary arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood from the right side of the heart through the lungs.

The Symptoms of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare form of high blood pressure. It occurs in the pulmonary arteries that flow from your heart and through your lungs. Constricted and narrowed arteries prevent your heart from pumping adequate blood. When constriction occurs, the heart will need to work harder to compensate.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) Classic PKU, the most severe form of the disorder, occurs when phenylalanine hydroxylase activity is severely reduced or absent. People with untreated classic PKU have levels of phenylalanine high enough to cause severe brain damage and other serious medical problems.Mutations in the PAH gene that allow the enzyme to retain some activity result in milder versions of this condition, such as variant PKU or non-PKU hyperphenylalaninemia.Changes in other genes may influence the severity of PKU, but little is known about these additional genetic factors.utations in the PAH gene that allow the enzyme to retain some activity result in milder versions of this condition, such as variant PKU or non-PKU hyperphenylalaninemia.

Drug Interactions Associated With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Therapy The main symptoms of PAH are dyspnea and exercise limitation. Other symptoms include fatigue, angina, syncope, palpitations, lightheadedness, and abdominal distention. Patients with early onset PAH may be asymptomatic, and diagnosis is made by exclusion of other diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

What is Pulmonary Hypertension? The hemodynamic definition of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a mean pulmonary artery pressure at rest greater than or equal to 25 mmHg in the presence of a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure less than or equal to 15 mmHg.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia Juvenile polyposis/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome is a condition that involves both arteriovenous malformations and a tendency to develop growths (polyps) in the gastrointestinal tract. Types 1, 2 and 3 do not appear to increase the likelihood of such polyps.

About SMA SMA is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. In order for a child to be affected by SMA, both parents must be carriers of the abnormal gene and both must pass this gene on to their child. Although both parents are carriers the likelihood of a child inheriting the disorder is 25%, or 1 in 4.

- People with untreated classic PKU have levels of phenylalanine high enough to cause severe brain damage and other serious medical problems. Mutations in the PAH gene that allow the enzyme to retain some activity result in milder versions of this condition, such as variant PKU or non-PKU hyperphenylalaninemia.f gene mutations reduce the activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase, phenylalanine from the diet is not processed effectively. As a result, this amino acid can build up to toxic levels in the blood and other tissues.

Orphan Products: Hope for People With Rare Diseases Though little is known about Jumping Frenchmen of Maine, the disorder and more than 6,000 other rare or orphan diseases are receiving increasing attention from the government, patient groups, and the pharmaceutical industry. An orphan disease is defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people nationwide. This includes diseases as familiar as cystic fibrosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, and Tourette's syndrome, and as unfamiliar as Hamburger disease, Job syndrome, and acromegaly, or gigantism.. Some diseases have patient populations of fewer than a hundred.

- The assignment of orphan status to a disease and to any drugs developed to treat it is a matter of public policy in many countries, and has resulted in medical breakthroughs that may not have otherwise been achieved due to the economics of drug research and development.n an effort to reduce the burden on manufacturers applying for orphan drug status, the FDA and EMA agreed in late 2007 to utilize a common application process for both agencies.

- The PAH gene produces an enzyme that breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine. Mutations in the PAH gene can cause phenylketonuria (PKU), a disorder that can change cells in the brain.The faulty protein allows dangerously high levels of phenylalanine to accumulate in the brain, poisoning the cells.If a person with PKU consumes too much phenylalanine, the build-up can cause mental retardation.Keywords: faulty protein,phenylketonuria,phenylalanine,pah,mental retardation,amino acid,mutations,chromosome,pku,cells,brain.This work by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.aulty protein,phenylketonuria,phenylalanine,pah,mental retardation,amino acid,mutations,chromosome,pku,cells,brain.

This page Phenylketonuria (PKU) (phenyl + ketone + -uria; /ˌfinəlˌkitɵnˈjʊəriə/) is an inborn error of metabolism involving impaired metabolism of phenylalanine, one of the amino acids.Phenylketonuria is caused by absent or virtually absent phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme activity.KU is an inherited disease. When an infant is diagnosed with PKU, it is never the result of any action of the parents or any environmental factor. Rather, for a child to inherit PKU, both of his or her parents must have at least one mutated allele of the PAH gene.
