Unbalance between Excitation and Inhibition in Phenylketonuria, a Genetic Metabolic Disease Associated with Autism [PDF]
, 2017 Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common genetic metabolic disease with a well-documented association with autism spectrum disorders. It is characterized by the deficiency of the phenylalanine hydroxylase activity, causing plasmatic hyperphenylalaninemia

Metabolomics of dietary fatty acid restriction in patients with phenylketonuria [PDF]
, 2012 Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have to follow a lifelong phenylalanine restricted diet. This type of diet markedly reduces the intake of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA).

Genetic variation in phenylketonuria: analysis of the PAHvdb database [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2022 Introduction. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most frequent inborn metabolism error. The principal determinant factor for the metabolic phenotype in PKU is the residual enzymatic activity, which is determined by the variations in the phenylalanine ...

Executive function in adolescents with PKU and their siblings: Associations with biochemistry
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2015 Previous research shows consistent and marked executive function impairment in children with early and continuously treated phenylketonuria. This between groups analysis (phenylketonuria group vs sibling controls) found no significant differences in ...
