Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PKU (phenylketonuria) is an autosomal recessive condition in which the body is unable to break down phenylalanine, an amino acid found in many different types of food. This leads to a buildup of phenylalanine in the body, which can cause intellectual disability, seizures, and behavioral problems if left untreated.
