Phenylalanine tolerance test in parents of phenylketonurics
Abstract
Phenylalanine tolerance test was carried out in three parents of phenylketonurics and the results compared with the test carried out in control subjects. Compared to the controls, the parents showed a delayed clearance of phenylalanine levels in blood. The findings indicate that this test could be used to detect heterozygote carriers.
