Summary
This study will test a new device called PheCheck™ that measures phenylalanine levels from a single fingerstick drop of blood. About 60 people with PKU or related conditions will use the test at home and compare results to standard lab analysis. The goal is to see if the rapid test is accurate enough for routine self-monitoring.
