29. Phenylketonuria Phenylketonuria PKU. PKU (phenylketonuria) is an inherited disorder of body chemistry that, if untreated, causes mental retardation. http://gunsmoke.ecn.purdue.edu/~kpasquet/project/pku.html&e=747

Phenylketonuria - PKU PKU (phenylketonuria) is an inherited disorder of body chemistry that, if untreated, causes mental retardation. Fortunately, most affected newborns are now diagnosed and treated early, allowing them to grow up free of mental retardation. About one baby in 15,000 is born with PKU in the United States. The disorder occurs in all ethnic groups, although it is most common in individuals of Northern European ancestry. PKU is a disease that affects the way the body processes food. Children with PKU cannot process a part of protein called phenylalanine. As a result, phenylalanine builds up in the bloodstream and causes brain damage and mental retardation. Children born with PKU appear normal for the first few months. Untreated, at three to five months they begin to lose interest in their surroundings and, by the time they are a year old, they are mentally retarded. Children with PKU often are irritable, restless and destructive. They may have a musty odor about them, and often have dry skin or rashes. Some have convulsions. Usually, they become physically well developed children, and have blonder hair than their relatives. PKU is inherited when both parents have the PKU gene and pass it on to their baby. A parent who has the PKU gene, but not the disease, is called a "carrier." A carrier has a normal gene as well as a PKU gene in each cell. A carrier's health is not affected in any known way. When both parents are carriers, there is a one-in-four chance that each will pass the PKU gene on to a child, causing it to be born with the disease. There also is a one-in-four chance that they will each pass on a normal gene, and the child will be free of the disease. There is a two-in-four chance that a baby will inherit the PKU gene from one parent and the normal gene from the other, making it a carrier like its parents. These chances are the same in each pregnancy.

A genetic disorder of metabolism; lack of the enzyme needed to turn phenylalanine into tyrosine results in an accumulation of phenylalanine in the body fluids which causes various degrees of mental deficiency. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Synonym: Phenylketonuria Synonym: PKU (n). ( additional references Top Specialty Definition: Phenylketonuria (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a human genetic disorder that occurs in about 1 in 15,000 births, but the incidence varies widely in different human populations from 1 in 4,500 births among the Irish to fewer than one in 100,000 births among the population of Finland. PKU usually is caused by a defective gene for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. A rarer form of the disease occurs when PAH is normal but its cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH ) is not synthesised by the patient. This enzyme normally converts the amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine. If, due to a faulty or missing enzyme, this reaction does not take place, levels of phenylalanine in the body can be far higher than normal, and levels of tyrosine lower than normal. Excess phenylalanine in the blood harms brain development in the child, leading to mental retardation; low levels of tyrosine leads to lowered production of the pigment melanin, so children with this condition tend to be fair haired and blue eyed. The excess phenylalanine is converted instead into phenylketones, which are excreted in the urine - hence the name for this condition. The sweat and urine of an affected child has a musty odour due to these ketones.
