The purpose of this study is to identify the dose of Kuvan needed to normalize the levels of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) in patients with a Guanosine Triphosphate Cyclohydrolase (GTPCH) deficiency and to asses the potential impact of oral Kuvan on mood and function in individuals with GTPCH deficiency who may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, trouble concentrating, or memory loss. This will be a phase one study. The investigators will monitor patients over a period of three to six months while on the medication. Medication levels will be monitored by measuring the BH4 levels in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Patients will undergo a baseline lumbar puncture and two follow-up lumbar punctures for this purpose. The investigators will also monitor emotional function and motor function.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kuvan Cohort 1 | Experimental | This cohort will be enrolled first. Analysis will be done to determine the optimum dosing of Kuvan to normalize BH4 levels in the Cerebral Spinal Fluid. This cohort will begin at a dose of 20mg/kg/day. |
|
| Kuvan Cohort 2 | Experimental | Participants in cohort 2 will be enrolled after the analysis of cohort 1 data has taken place. Dosing for cohort 2 will be based on results obtained in cohort 1, but will plan on starting at 30 mg/kg/day. |

| Sapropterin | Drug | Sapropterin will be taken daily for 12 or 24 weeks. Starting dose will be 20mg/kg/day and will increase at the 8 week visit to 30 mg/kg/day. Dosing may be further increased to as high as 40 mg/kg/day in attempt to normalize BH4 levels in CSF. Starting dose for Cohort 2 will be determined from data analysis in Cohort 1. |

This is a pilot study and all participants are in the treatment group.
Participants were recruited from August 2011 through August 2013. Participants were patients who had been seen clinically for GTPCH deficiency and indicated previously that they would be interested in future research.
