GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH) catalyses the first and rate-limiting reaction in the synthesis of the enzymatic cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). Loss of function mutations in the GCH1 gene lead to congenital neurological diseases such as DOPA-responsive dystonia and hyperphenylalaninemia. However, little is known about how GTPCH and BH4 affects embryonic development in utero, and in particular whether metabolic replacement or supplementation in pregnancy is sufficient to rescue genetic GTPCH deficiency in the developing embryo.
