Phenylketonuria is a genetic condition?

Patient's question:

My son was diagnosed with phenylketonuria during the newborn screening shortly after his birth. The family was terrified back then. Later, under the guidance of the hospital, we have been paying close attention to his diet, taking medication, and undergoing regular check-ups, and his condition has basically returned to normal. However, now that we want a second child, we are worried about the same disease. What are the conditions for generational inheritance of phenylketonuria?

Doctor's answer:

Gonal-f is a gonadotropin used for ovulation induction, primarily for premenopausal patients. There are no strict dietary restrictions during medication, but it is advised to avoid spicy foods and overly greasy meals. Only healthcare professionals with a thorough understanding of infertility and treatment can administer this medication. Hospitalization is required during treatment, with the involvement of specialized doctors and nurses, as well as appropriate monitoring equipment.
