Griffiths, Peter; Smith, Caroline; Harvie, Ann
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v102 n1 p27-36 Jul 1997
Cognitive and behavioral effects of temporarily elevating levels of phenylalanine in treated phenylketonuria (PKU) were investigated in a triple-blind crossover study with 16 early and continuously treated children and adolescents with PKU. Results suggest that intellectual ability, memory, and conduct are not affected by medium-term elevated phenylalanine in PKU after 10 or more years of treatment. (Author/DB)
