Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a hereditary condition that affects the way the body processes an amino acid called phenylalanine. PKU is caused by mutations in the gene that encodes phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine.
Which of the following is advisable for individuals with PKU?
