It is a common amino acid metabolic disease, caused by a deficiency of enzymes in the phenylalanine catabolic pathway, which prevents phenylalanine from being converted into tyrosine. This leads to the accumulation of phenylalanine and its ketone in the body and their excretion in large quantities in the urine. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as intellectual disability, recurrent seizures, and hyperpigmentation. This disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Its incidence varies by ethnicity, with rates of approximately 1/14,000 in the United States, 1/60,000 in Japan, and 1/16,500 in China.Advice: Many different amino acids in protein are essential nutrients for the human body.
