Single amino acid supplementation in aminoacidopathies: a systematic review

Abstract: Aminoacidopathies are a group of rare and diverse disorders, caused by the deficiency of an enzyme or transporter involved in amino acid metabolism. For most aminoacidopathies, dietary management is the mainstay of treatment. Such treatment includes severe natural protein restriction, combined with protein substitution with all amino acids except the amino acids prior to the metabolic block and enriched with the amino acid that has become essential by the enzymatic defect. For some aminoacidopathies, supplemen… Show more

“…Furthermore, we investigated correlations with phenylalanine and tyrosine concentrations as a possible cause of the observed problems, which has not been studied in such detail before. High phenylalanine and tyrosine levels may have toxic effects on the brain, as shown in disorders such as phenylketonuria and tyrosinemia type 2 [18,[21][22][23]. There is also evidence that low plasma phenylalanine concentrations adversely affect the outcomes in PKU [24] and TT1 [5,12,13].…”

“…In MMA and PA patients, supplementation with SAA can play a role in dietary treatment . In the overall group of MMA, PA patients, the L‐isoleucine:L‐leucine:L‐valine ratio was 1:2.5:3.0 and in those patients without AAM‐OAD ratio was 1:1.9:3.3, which indicates low L‐valine levels (normal L‐isoleucine:L‐leucine:L‐valine ratio is 1:2:4).…”

“…Although, when necessary, precursor‐free amino acid mixtures (AAM) (AAMs‐OAD: amino acid mixtures in OAD) can be supplemented without inducing intoxication, there has recently been some debate on their use with respect to the relative high L‐leucine content influencing other plasma BCAA levels . In some patients, single amino acids (SAA) can be supplied to fine‐tune dietary treatment, though there is no international consensus on the use of either AAMs‐OAD or SAA . In UCD patients, the purpose of dietary treatment is to reduce the nitrogen load.…”

“…Accumulation of FAA causes the development of HCC (Jorquera and Tanguay 1997, Jorquera and Tanguay 1999). As SA can be used as a surrogate marker of toxicity in the liver, we should aim at the lowest NTBC dose associated with the lowest possible SA concentration in blood and urine (Grompe et al Grompe 2001, de Laet et al 2013, Mayorandan et al 2014). …”
