p-Fluorophenylalanine (p-FPA) is a synthetic analog of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is an inhibitor of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), the enzyme responsible for the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. p-FPA is used as a tool to study the role of phenylalanine in various biological processes. It is also used in the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in PAH. p-FPA is synthesized by reacting phenylalanine with fluorine gas. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. The effects of p-FPA include inhibition of PAH activity, leading to the accumulation of phenylalanine in the body. This accumulation can lead to various neurological problems in individuals with PKU. p-FPA is important because it provides a way to study the role of phenylalanine in various biological processes. It is also used in the treatment of PKU. p-FPA is studied to better understand the role of phenylalanine in the body and to develop better treatments for PKU. '

It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world. (Stedman, 25th ed; from Rook et al., Textbook of Dermatology, 4th ed, p2445) | 0 | 7.38 | 2 | 0 |

| Poliomyelitis An acute infectious disease of humans, particularly children, caused by any of three serotypes of human poliovirus (POLIOVIRUS). Usually the infection is limited to the gastrointestinal tract and nasopharynx, and is often asymptomatic. The central nervous system, primarily the spinal cord, may be affected, leading to rapidly progressive paralysis, coarse FASCICULATION and hyporeflexia. Motor neurons are primarily affected. Encephalitis may also occur. The virus replicates in the nervous system, and may cause significant neuronal loss, most notably in the spinal cord. A rare related condition, nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis, may result from infections with nonpoliovirus enteroviruses. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp764-5) | 0 | 1.93 | 1 | 0 |

Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
