                                Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 13,500 to 19,000 newborns in the United States. It is a condition where the body cannot properly metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe), leading to toxic buildup and developmental issues.
