dihydroxyphenylalanine and Cutis Elastica

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Cutis Elastica in 1 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

Trial Outcomes

Fine Motor Adaptive Development at 36 Mos of Age or at Death (Mos)

This was measured based on the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) I or II for age-appropriate fine motor development in apparently normal healthy subjects at specific ages (in months). The DDST employs a grid to assess expected developmental milestones in relation to chronologic age. (NCT00001262)
Timeframe: 36 months or death

InterventionOther - Months (Mean)
Early16.200
Late2.409
Mild17.667

Gross Motor Development at 36 Mos of Age or at Death (Mos)

This was measured based on the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) I or II for age-appropriate gross motor development in apparently normal healthy subjects at specific ages (in months). The DDST employs a grid to assess expected developmental milestones in relation to chronologic age. (NCT00001262)
Timeframe: 36 months or death

Language Development at 36 Mos of Age or at Death (Mos)

This was measured based on the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) I or II for age-appropriate language development in apparently normal healthy subjects at specific ages (in months). The DDST employs a grid to assess expected developmental milestones in relation to chronologic age. (NCT00001262)

Personal-Social Development at 36 Mos of Age or at Death (Mos)

This was measured based on the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) I or II for age-appropriate personal-social development in apparently normal healthy subjects at specific ages (in months). The DDST employs a grid to assess expected developmental milestones in relation to chronologic age. (NCT00001262)
