PKU |Overview

Harvey Levy计划针对苯基酮和相关条件是一项多学科,以患者为中心的计划,针对影响氨基酸代谢的代谢疾病的儿童和成人。这些疾病通常是由有助于分解蛋白质的酶引起的,这可能导致可能有害物质的积累,有时还缺乏正常细胞功能所需的构件。未经治疗状态的症状可能包括发育延迟,智力障碍,心理疾病,肝病和stroke。这些疾病是可以治疗的,大多数人都是通过新生儿筛查诊断的,这可以使人们过着更正常的生活。

这se conditions include:

  • 苯酮尿症
  • 同囊尿
  • 枫糖浆尿液疾病
  • 酪氨酸血症
  • 相关的辅助障碍

该计划中包括的代谢疾病的治疗历史上已经在波士顿儿童医院提供。欧宝彩票平台可用的疗法现在正在扩展到包括新型和高度影响的疗法,例如酶取代疗法。

项目名称在2019年被授予,命名to honor the contributions of Boston Children’s Hospital’s own metabolic disease and newborn screening pioneer, Dr. Harvey Levy. Through the work of Dr. Levy, Massachusetts was the first state to offer newborn screening for phenylketonuria in 1962, and one of the first to screen for homocystinuria and maple syrup urine disease. Much of his early work helped to understand maternal PKU, leading to improved pregnancy outcomes. In the early days of newborn screening, Dr. Levy had been the director of the Massachusetts Metabolic Disorders Program and later the chief of biochemical genetics in the New England Newborn Screening Program. Dr. Levy served on numerous local, regional, and U.S. national committees and task forces on newborn screening and metabolic disorders. He has been active in many professional societies, notably the Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders as director-at-large and president. Dr. Levy’s scientific career has focused on the clinical follow-up of inborn errors identified by newborn screening as well as the evaluation of newborn screening methods. In the more recent years Dr. Levy had been involved in the efforts to expand newborn screening by tandem mass spectrometry. Dr. Levy currently directs a clinical research group that is studying the effect of innovative therapies for phenylketonuria and homocystinuria. He has been the (co-)author of over 200 scientific papers.
