Phenylketonuria (PKU) arises due to genetic changes in hepatocytes (liver cells). A birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body. It is an inherited inability to metabolize phenylalanine which, if untreated, causes brain and nerve damage. It is possible to treat it with gene therapy.
