Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to characterize the natural history of phenylketonuria (PKU) due to phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency in adults through prospective collection of clinical, cognitive, and quality of life assessments.

Condition or disease
Phenylketonurias PKU

Detailed Description:

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency is a rare disease caused by an inborn error of metabolism. If left untreated, PAH deficiency results in progressive, irreversible neurological impairment during infancy and early childhood.

This study is designed to collect information about important PKU-related symptoms and tests to characterize the natural history of PKU due to PAH deficiency in a selected sample of adults. No new investigational treatment will be administered to participating patients.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Plasma phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    Change in plasma Phe concentrations throughout study duration

  2. Plasma tyrosine (Tyr) concentrations [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    Change in plasma Tyr concentrations throughout study duration

  3. Quality of life (QOL), as assessed using the PKU-QOL questionnaire measures [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    Changes in PKU-QOL
