Comparative Analysis of Dietary Patterns in Children With Phenylketonuria Phenotypes and Controls: Implications for Nutritional Status. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Inherit Metab Dis
ABSTRACT Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), caused by different variants of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene, need to restrict their intake of phenylalanine. This study evaluated dietary patterns and physical activity levels in children with different PKU phenotypes compared to healthy controls. Eighty‐two children were recruited (22 classic PKU

Cognitive functioning in mild hyperphenylalaninemia

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2015
Background: Hyperphenylalaninemia is a hereditary metabolic disorder that causes elevated blood phenylalanine (Phe). Hyperphenylalaninemias are classified as Phenylketonuria PKU (Phe > 6 mg/dL) or mild hyperphenylalaninemia (mHPA) (Phe 2–6 mg/dL).
