    I have had genetic testing to find out what is going on in my head, nothing! 🤣 Dr Koch was my Dr. and was a very caring man. He tested me and what I remember is I have a severe and a medium mutation. This was approximately 10-15 years ago. Do you suggest being retested in regards to gene mapping plus other advancements?

    I have PKU. If I could I wish I could tell these parents and children that having PKU does not and should not stop you from achieving your dreams and goals in life. I was diagnosed with classical PKU at one week old. Three weeks ago I turned 26. In my 26 years in life I have accomplished everything I have wanted to, and having PKU is the least interesting thing about me. I am in my second year of a PharmD program at the University of Utah. I have competed in high level competitions in equestrian sports, and I have tried to be a kind and caring person to those I meet. While finding a cure is so important, I just wish I could tell those worried parents out there that living a very fulfilling life with PKU is possible. I'd be lying if I say that it has always been easy. Have I struggled with high phe. levels, anxiety, depression, scary M.R.I findings? I sure have. It isn't easy. Then yet again, everyone has their own individual challenges. I guess the biggest message I'm trying to convey is that at some point we decide that it WILL NOT define us. It becomes "the way it is" at some point, and you find meaning in so many other things in life. You learn to cope with what your normal is, and prove to yourself that what you eat makes you no less of an individual than the next person.

    All very interesting.I am 65 and have PKU and i wonder why is it that no research has been done on PKU and the menopause?I also think that if you have PKU and the menopause, it could be that maybe your PHE levels might be affected by the menopause and not nesseraliy due to poor PHE control!!! Might be worth carrying out research on this. After all the menopause and PKU are metabolic problems.Would be nice to see what everyone else thinks?

    When is gene therapy for color blindness avaible? I think it is the most soght gene therapy on this planet. It affected over 300 million people and we lost our dreams and we also have been waiting for it for so long time. It was claimed that could cure red green color blindness in monkey in 2009, but till know we dont have clue when it is approved in human trials. We hope you proffessors, doctors, biologists and all of medicine expertises., please give us a miracle and spirit when we open our eyes in every morning🙏🙏🙏😭

    My son was misdiagnosed negative pku after initially testing positive. 11 yrs later a dna test showed he is pku positive. I just found out 3 weeks ago. My son suffers from autism and adhd he has severe behavioral issues so severe that prevent him from attending school he stims severely he has social issues he has had seizures and is on multiple medications. I and his doctors believe the majority of his issues are due to the untreated pku. I am in shock.

    I'm 48 (born before testing started) and had a lot of health problem (behavior, neurological etc.) but seven years ago, I change my diet and by experiments found out that the way my brain works was very linked to the protein I ate. With this new diet, I got back my brain, I would say, I'm nearly not asperger with mood disorders anymore; I'm not physically suffering anymore, I think much better and even my consciousness has changed. 3 years ago I did a genetic test from United States (i'm french) I needed some time to learn but there was a lot of explanation and one of them is PKU. I recently went just a little off this very strict diet and felt I was again and fast loosing my brain. I did a blood test and Phe was too high. So I would say, at least some of the issues are reversible. I'm happy there is some researchs and thanks for sharing

    Thank you for this video. My 2 youngest sons (10 years old and 3 months old) have PKU. This is helpful for them to see that others have PKU as well, we have yet to meet anyone else (close enough) with pku for them to have a friendship with. My 10 year old feels quite lonely and alienated quite often. May I also add, if anyone in San Diego area has a child/children around 10 years old with PKU and would be interested in the children having each other as friends and support, we would be most appreciative. Please feel free to respond. Thanks.
