A member asked:

Could patients with pku have children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: In fact, this is quite a big deal. If you are going to be a mother, you will need to manage your pku diet very carefully while you are pregnant, or the unborn child who actually does not have pku will still end up with permanent brain damage.
