Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder that leads to intellectual disabilities and developmental delays if left untreated. It is caused by a genetic defect that prevents the body from breaking down an amino acid called phenylalanine, which then builds up in the bloodstream and damages brain cells.
