Patient's question:
At the age of one and a half, I noticed... The child will never walk. I had a follow-up check-up at a good hospital in China and Japan to review the previous treatment and its effectiveness: No allergies. It also didn't inherit it from the previous generation. The child is doing well in other aspects, and his intelligence has also started to improve. I just want to consult what else the child can eat besides formula and protein powder.Doctor's answer:
Phenylketonuria, due to insufficient melanin production, causes the color of hair, skin, and iris to become lighter several months after birth. The skin may become dry, and some individuals with phenylketonuria often suffer from eczema. Avoid consanguineous marriage. Actively carry out newborn screening to detect it early and provide early treatment. Pregnant women with a family history of this disease must undergo prenatal diagnosis for their fetus using methods such as DNA prediction or amniotic fluid tryptophan testing. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
