HB 1059 Treatment for phenylketonuria.

Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Treatment for phenylketonuria. Requires the Board of Health to include both formulas and solid kinds of low protein (low phenylalanine) foods in its program. Parents are currently supplied all of the formulas needed, at a cost of no more than two percent of their annual income; however, no solid foods are provided. Phenylketonuria is an inborn error of metabolism in which the body does not oxidize phenylalanine. Early treatment, i.e., restricting phenylalanine intake, prevents children born with this disorder from becoming brain damaged and thus mentally retarded.
