Abstract

Control of the plasma histidine level in histidinemia is possible with the use of an amino acid mixture free of histidine and a carefully monitored intake of histidine. This regimen is compatible with good physical growth and normal mental development. If further clinical experience demonstrates that widespread nutritional intervention in this disease is warranted, it should be possible to obtain good biochemical control.
