Summary

For individuals with Phenylketonuria (PKU), the investigators hypothesize that glycomacropeptide will provide an acceptable form of low-phenylalanine dietary protein that will improve dietary compliance, blood phenylalanine levels, cognitive function, and ultimately quality of life compared with the usual amino acid based diet. The study is funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development Grants Program, R01 FD003711.

  • Acceptance of glycomacropeptide foods determined prior to enrollment

Exclusion Criteria

  • Females who are pregnant or planning pregnancy
  • Individuals with mental deficits due to untreated or poorly controlled PKU
