Extractions: Home What's New Browse Handbook ... Search Phenylketonuria On this page: Phenylketonuria (commonly known as PKU) is an inherited disorder that increases the blood levels of a substance called phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is an amino acid (a building block of proteins) that is obtained through the diet. It is found in all proteins and in some artificial sweeteners. If PKU is not treated, excess phenylalanine can build up to harmful levels in the body, causing mental retardation and other serious health problems. The signs and symptoms of PKU vary from mild to severe. The most severe form of this disorder is known as classic PKU. Infants with classic PKU appear normal until they are a few months old. Without treatment with a special low-phenylalanine diet, these children develop permanent mental retardation and behavioral problems. Seizures, delayed development, and movement disorders are also common. Affected individuals may have a musty or mouse-like odor as a side effect of excess phenylalanine in the body. Children with classic PKU tend to have lighter skin and hair than unaffected family members and are also likely to have skin disorders such as eczema.
