Maternal PKU syndrome

Maternal PKU syndrome

This is a group of birth defects found in some babies born to women who have PKU. Women with PKU who are not treated before and throughout pregnancy have a high chance to have babies with one or more of these health problems. Symptoms of maternal PKU can include microcephaly (heads and brains that are too small), intellectual disabilities, heart defects, and low birth weight.
