First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 220 adults with phenylketonuria (PKU) in France to learn how the disease affects them later in life. Researchers looked for signs of cognitive decline, neurological problems, and how the disease impacts quality of life and social integration. No new treatment was tested; the goal was simply to gather information to guide future care.
