Introduction Phenylketonuria has been defined as a form of genetic abnormality that an individual acquires due to lack of PAH enzyme reduction that makes that individual unable to metabolize phenylalanine tyrosine. On the other hand‚ Down syndrome has been referred to a type of genetic condition that makes an individual to experience some sort of learning disability as well as different characteristic physical features. Down syndrome is also defined as a birth condition that is experienced by individuals

test that could determine whether newborns had the metabolic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU). People with PKU lack an enzyme needed to process the amino acid phenylalanine‚ which is necessary for normal growth in kids and for normal protein use throughout life. However‚ if too much phenylalanine builds up‚ it damages the brain tissue and can eventually cause substantial developmental delay. If kids born with PKU are put on a special diet right away‚ they can avoid the developmental delay the condition

Symptoms: * Breathing * Heart action * Movements of voluntary muscle. Diagnostic Tests/Labs: * PKU- Results pending * Test for phenylketonuria * A congenital autosomal recessive disease marked by failure to metabolize phenylalanine to tyrosine. * It results in severe neurological deficits in infancy if it is unrecognized or left untreated. PKU is present in about 3.5 in 10‚000 newborns in the U.S. In this disease‚ phenylalanine and its by-products accumulate
