The Prevention of Maternal Phenylketonuria (PKU) Syndrome: The Development and Evaluation of a Specific Training Program

open access: yesNutrients
Background: Maternal phenylketonuria (PKU) syndrome, leading to severe psychomotor retardation, microcephaly, cardiac defects and undergrowth, affects the unborn children of mothers with PKU with insufficient metabolic control during pregnancy.

Tetrahydrobiopterin and Maternal PKU

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2005
A 29-year-old woman with PKU is presented, who was successfully treated with phenylalanine restriction as well as oral BH4 during this pregnancy, with a normal outcome. Her PAH mutation was R408W/F39L. Remarkably, the blood phenylalanine control was easily accomplished during this pregnancy.

Maternal PKU: Defining Phenylalanine Tolerance and Its Variation During Pregnancy, According to Genetic Background

open access: yesNutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 2020
Background and aims: Phenylketonuria (PKU)-affected women may become pregnant, and dietary phenylalanine (Phe) intake must be adjusted according to Phe tolerance.

Maternal Phenylketonuria (PKU) — A Review

Clinical Biochemistry, 1987
This review points out the very high incidence of damage to the fetus in untreated maternal phenylketonuria (PKU). In classical cases, 92% of the offspring are mentally retarded, 73% have microcephaly, 40% are growth retarded at birth, and 12% have congenital anomalies.

Fetal Ultrasonography in Maternal PKU.

Prenatal Diagnosis, 1996
Maternal phenylketonuria (PKU) is teratogenic and results in birth defects that include microcephaly, mental retardation, congenital heart disease, and intrauterine growth retardation. Treatment with a low phenylalanine diet can prevent or reduce the severity of the complications.

Psychosocial Issues and Outcomes in Maternal PKU

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2010
Elevated phenylalanine (Phe) levels in pregnant women with PKU are teratogenic. Fetal damage due to elevated maternal Phe levels during pregnancy is known as maternal phenylketonuria (MPKU). The risk of birth defects in MPKU, including global developmental delays, microcephaly, congenital heart disease, and low birth weight, can be dramatically reduced
