[Audio] Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that impairs an individual's capacity to breakdown the amino acid phenylalanine. It is estimated to affect around 1 in 12000 people worldwide. Treatments for PKU include a rigorous lifelong diet, in addition to medical foods and nutritional supplements with low phenylalanine levels. Research is being conducted to explore the potential for gene therapy and dietary interventions to assist with managing and treating PKU. Additionally, biotechnology has enabled scientists to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that synthesize phenylalanine-free proteins, which are currently under assessment for safety and effectiveness..

Scene 9 (3m 43s)

[Audio] Inherited metabolic disorder Phenylketonuria (PKU) occurs due to a deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase.

Fortunately, there are treatments available for managing this disorder, such as dietary management, medication, and supplements. Dietary management involves changing one's diet to reduce phenylalanine intake, typically by reducing consumption of high-protein foods like meat, dairy, and eggs, and replacing them with protein alternatives. Additionally, medication and supplements can help reduce the amount of phenylalanine absorbed by the body. Recent research has also been conducted to modify the nutritional content and food quality of certain crops, which have been shown to resist pests, diseases, and stresses, reduce the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides, increase growth rates and food production, and increase levels of essential vitamins and minerals. This offers possibilities for developing new methods of managing PKU in the future..
