| Title: | Phenylketonuria in Chinese in Singapore | Authors: | Boon, W.H. | Issue Date: | 1978 | Citation: | Boon, W.H. (1978). Phenylketonuria in Chinese in Singapore. Journal of the Singapore Paediatric Society 20 (2) : 69-72. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The first 2 cases of phenylketonuria seen in Chinese in Singapore are reported. This refutes the usually accepted view that PKU is nonexistent in Singapore. Both cases were encountered within a period of 1 yr. The pathogenesis of PKU and its variants is briefly described. The point is made that it is worthwhile screening for PKU by examining the urine at 2-4 wk of life with ferric chloride. However, those carrying out the test should have good experience and knowledge of all possible reactions with ferric chloride. | Source Title: | Journal of the Singapore Paediatric Society | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/132623 | ISSN: | 00375683 |
