DESCRIPTION:

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited metabolic disorder. Children born with it cannot process the amino acid phenylalanine. This results in mental disabilities and neurological issues including memory loss and mood disorders, if left untreated after birth. Special medical foods are required by children and adults living with PKU.

There is no cure for PKU. In order to avoid irreversible brain damage, patients eat special diets, take medication and restrict the amount of phenylalanine in their diet. International Phenylketonuria Awareness Day was first held in 2013, and seeks to raise awareness about this disease and raise funds for treatment and a possible cure.
