    Patients with treated classical phenylketonuria (PKU) exhibit consistent neuropsychological deficits. These impairments in motor, spatial, and reasoning skills may stem from poor coordination and information processing limits.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropsychology
    • Metabolic Disorders
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Classical phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited metabolic disorder.
    • Early and continuous dietary management is crucial for PKU patients.
    • Neuropsychological outcomes in treated PKU require ongoing investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively assess neuropsychological functioning in patients with treated classical PKU.
    • To identify consistent patterns of cognitive and motor deficits.
    • To explore underlying factors contributing to observed performance limitations.

    Main Methods:

    • Neuropsychological assessment battery administered to patients with treated classical PKU.
    • Analysis of performance across motor, visual-motor, spatial, academic, and reasoning domains.

  • Comparison of findings with existing literature on diet termination in PKU.

    • Main Results:

    • A consistent cluster of deficits was observed in motor, visual-motor, and spatial functions.
    • Impairments were also noted in academic skills and higher-level reasoning.
    • Findings align with previous studies using diverse assessment methodologies.

    Conclusions:

    • Treated classical PKU is associated with persistent neuropsychological deficits.
    • Poor motor coordination, spatial problem-solving limits, and reduced simultaneous information processing capacity appear to be key contributing factors.
    • Results have implications for clinical management and theoretical understanding of PKU's cognitive impact.
