Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary study parameters are phenylalanine and tyrosine concentrations.<br /><br>Their day to day variation (at specific time points) and variation throughout<br /><br>the day will be analysed. Next to this, mean phenylalanine and tyrosine<br /><br>concentrations with and without supplementation of phenylalanine will be<br /><br>analysed. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The secondary outcome parameters are NTBC and succinylacetone concentrations.<br /><br>If doses of NTBC are high enough, it is hypothesized that the tyrosine<br /><br>degradation pathway is completely blocked. Thus, the metabolic product<br /><br>succinylacetone will not be formed. However, in regular patientcare increased<br /><br>succinylacetone concentrations are sometimes found. Thus, the question is<br /><br>whether NTBC concentrations are high enough during the complete day. Therefore,<br /><br>the variation of NTBC and the occurence of increased succinylacetone<br /><br>concentrations will be analysed. </p><br>
