Phenylketonuria Foundation

The Phenylketonuria (PKU) Foundation is an organization dedicated to supporting individuals with PKU, a genetic disorder where the body can't properly break down an amino acid called phenylalanine. Elevated levels of phenylalanine can lead to brain damage if untreated. The foundation provides education, resources, and advocacy to help manage PKU through dietary restrictions, regular testing, and medical support. Its goal is to improve the quality of life for those affected, promote awareness, and advance research toward better treatments and potential cures.
