    Author: Bone A, Kuehl AK, Angelino AF.
    Journal: Psychosomatics; 2012; 53(6):517-23. PubMed ID: 23157991.
    Abstract:
    Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder that is associated with neuropsychiatric sequelae of varying severity. The natural history, epidemiology, and a history of the medical understanding and approaches to treatment of PKU are presented. Neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric sequelae of patients with untreated, early-treated, and continuously-treated PKU are described, and possible mechanisms for the symptoms are proposed. The authors propose an integrated approach to management of patients with PKU.
