Sepiapterin reductase deficiency (SRD), an extremely rare but treatable neurotransmitter disease, is an enzyme defect in the final step of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis.1 Unlike other forms of BH4-deficient dopa-responsive dystonia, SRD uniquely does not manifest hyperphenylalaninemia and thus slips through detection by newborn screening. Owing to its variable presenting features and need for a sensitive method of CSF analysis, diagnosis of SRD may be compromised in mild phenotypes.2
