PKU is caused by mutations in the gene that helps make an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase (pronounced fen-l-AL-uh-neen hahy-DROK-suh-leys), or PAH. This enzyme is needed to convert the amino acid phenylalanine into other substances the body needs.
PKU signs and symptoms can be mild or severe and may include: A musty odor in the breath, skin or urine, caused by too much phenylalanine in the body. Neurological problems that may include seizures,Skin rashes (eczema)
