Summary
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder, where subjects are born with a genetic deficiency in the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme (PAH), which leaves them unable to convert Phenylalanine (Phe) into Tyrosine (Tyr). PKU patients have specific dietary needs and must follow a restrictive diet in the aim of preventing toxic levels of the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation.
Detailed description
The aim of this explorative cross-sectional study is to gain quantitative insights on blood nutrient levels of adult PKU patients on a protein substitute.
