Phenylketonuria (PKU) can be defined as a rare metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the production of the hepatic (liver) enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). PKU is the most serious form of a class of diseases referred to as hyperphenylalaninemia, all of which involve above normal (elevated) levels of phenylalanine in the blood.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism transmitted genetically. Both parents must be carriers of the gene to produce a child with this condition. When both parents are carriers of the gene, chances of an affected child occurring are one in four for each pregnancy. There is a 50% chance that a child born to these parents will be a carrier of the phenylketonuria gene. There are no known clinical signs of PKU present in a newborn.
