Forty-three adults with classical phenylketonuria were identified by neonatal screening and treated with a phenylalanine (Phe) restricted diet. Nineteen have remained on dietary treatment with varying levels of blood Phe control and 24 have discontinued the diet at an average age of 7.8 years. Follow up at an average age of 22 years revealed that the cohort remaining on dietary treatment have achieved substantially better social and academic achievement than the 24 who discontinued dietary treatment. Another group of 19 adults who were not diagnosed until an average age of 2.5 years have also been evaluated after an average of 22 years on a Phe restricted diet. This report is based upon Wechsler Adult Intelligence Revised Test scores, attendance at college, employment and marital status.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
