Pregnancy Experiences in the Woman With Mild Hyperphenylalaninemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: A major issue in maternal phenylketonuria (MPKU) has been whether maternal non-PKU mild hyperphenylalaninemia (MHP) is teratogenic. Such untreated pregnancies and their outcomes are presented on this report. METHODS: Enrolled pregnancies in which the untreated prepregnancy assigned phenylalanine level (APL) was no more than 600 micro mol/L were included in the Maternal PKU Collaborative Study and were followed according to protocol. RESULTS: Forty-eight enrolled women with non-PKU MHP had mean APL 408 +/- 114 micromol/L. They had a total of 58 pregnancies that resulted in live births. Fifty were untreated. Maternal phenylalanine (Phe) levels in the untreated pregnancies decreased during pregnancy for average Phe exposure of 270 +/- 84 micromol/L, virtually identical to the level of 269 +/- 136 micromol/L in the 8 treated pregnancies. Birth measurements in the 50 offspring from untreated pregnancies were within normal limits with z scores of -0.25 for weight, 0.28 for length, and -0.63 for head circumference, although birth head circumference was negatively correlated with maternal APL (r = -0.30). Only 1 offspring had congenital heart disease. Offspring IQ was 102 +/- 15 compared with 96 +/- 14 in the mothers with untreated pregnancies and with 109 +/- 21 in control offspring. CONCLUSION: Maternal non-PKU MHP no more than 600 micromol/L does not require dietary therapy. The naturally lower Phe level during pregnancy seems to protect against teratogenesis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
