MedlinePlus: Phenylketonuria (pku) is a genetic disorder in which the body can't process part of a protein called phenylalanine (phe). phe is in almost all foods. if the phe level gets too high, it can damage the brain and cause severe mental retardation. all babies born in u.s. hospitals must now have a screening test for pku. this makes it easier to diagnose and treat the problem early.
the best treatment for pku is a diet of low-protein foods. there are special formulas for newborns. for older children and adults, the diet includes many fruits and vegetables. it also includes some low-protein breads, pastas and cereals. nutritional formulas provide the vitamins and minerals they can't get from their food.
babies who get on this special diet soon after they are born develop normally. many have no symptoms of pku. it is important that they stay on the diet for the rest of their lives.

MalaCards: Phenylketonuria, also known as pku, is related to hyperphenylalaninemia and dihydropteridine reductase deficiency. An important gene associated with Phenylketonuria is QDPR (quinoid dihydropteridine reductase), and among its related pathways are Metabolism of amino acids and derivatives and Folate biosynthesis. The compounds nadph and 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, brain and cortex, and related mouse phenotypes are hematopoietic system and endocrine/exocrine gland. Disease Ontology: An amino acid metabolic disorder that is characterized by a mutation in the gene for the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah), rendering it nonfunctional.6 NIH Rare Diseases: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited condition that is caused by toxic levels of phenylalanine in the body. If left untreated, this buildup of phenylalanine can cause severe intellectual disabilities. Because PKU can be detected by a simple blood test and is treatable, newborn screening is available for this disorder30 Genetics Home Reference: Phenylketonuria (commonly known as PKU) is an inherited disorder that increases the levels of a substance called phenylalanine in the blood. Phenylalanine is a building block of proteins (an amino acid) that is obtained through the diet. It is found in all proteins and in some artificial sweeteners. If PKU is not treated, phenylalanine can build up to harmful levels in the body, causing intellectual disability and other serious health problems.17 Wikipedia: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder characterized by a mutation...44 more...
