Phenylketonuria

In our science class we were assigned a genetic disorder. Then we had to research someone else genetic disorder and I researched my friends disease and it was called Phenylketonuria. Phenylketonuria is the disease that can cause mental retardation. Also, the cell is one enzyme doesn't function properly and cannot separate amino acids. The people with this disease Phenylketonuria are most likely going to be infants. The only way that you are able to treat this disease called Phenylketonuria is going on a huge diet and do not stop your diet. Alos, for you diet you have to cut doent on protien. Signes that show that you have this disease is a skin rash, excessive restlessness, irritable behavior, mosty body order, develop mental retardation"if not on diet", seizures, and lighter skin and hair color. This disease makes me feal sad because little children are suffering alot. If I was a doctor I would not rest until I found a cure.
