Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease caused by a mutated autosomal recessive gene. The non-mutated form of the gene codes for the production of an enzyme needed to break down the amino acid phenylalanine, a component of proteins in food. The uncontrolled buildup of phenylalanine in body tissues can cause severe symptoms, especially in children. Which medical intervention is most effective in preventing the symptoms of PKU?
What is nutrition
