PPT-7-5 Phenylketonuria Report

By Kevin Zhu Walter Chen and Sachin Patro Definition Phenylketonuria PKU is a genetic disorder that is described by an lack of ability of the body to use the necessary amino acid called phenylalanine Amino acids are the building blocks for bodys proteins Essential amino acids can only be attained from the food that we eat Our body does not normally produce them The classic PKU the enzyme that breaks down phenylalanine hydroxylase is absolutely or almost completely lacking This enzyme normally turns phenylalanine to another amino acid called tyrosine Without this Classic PKU phenylalanine and its other breakdown chemicals from other enzyme method build up in the blood and body tissues . 57347E57347LQFUHDVLQJ57347LQYHVWPHQW57347LQ57347WKH57347UH57567QHPHQW57347 5744157454574445737657458574495744757455574585745557461574595737657445574625744157452574615744157460574495745557454573765745557446573765746057448574455737657453574555745957460 O Box 2225 Ponte Vedra Beach FL 32004 Phone 9046142001 Email stanstantheannuity mancom brPage 2br VitalSigns Company List Page 2 of 18 Data for YearEnd 2012 from the life insurance companies statutory annual statements This information represents onl O Box 2225 Ponte Vedra Beach FL 32004 Phone 9046142001 Email stanstantheannuity mancom brPage 2br VitalSigns Company List Page 2 of 20 Data for YearEnd 2011 from the life insurance companies statutory annual statements This information represents onl 5.
