Summary
This study looks at adults who carry the gene for phenylketonuria (PKU) but don't have the disease. Researchers want to see if their brains handle phenylalanine differently and if it affects thinking or brain activity. Participants will take phenylalanine or a placebo, then have MRIs and cognitive tests. The goal is to better understand the hidden effects of being a PKU carrier.
