Neurocognitive functioning remained unchanged in adults with phenylketonuria: Report of a 15‐year follow‐up
Cognitive performance in adult patients with early treated PKU does not seem to deteriorate in a 15 years interval. Neuropsychological assessment revealed constant modest neurocognitive impairment in patients older than 47 years. This seems to refer to an early relaxation of diet that was recommended when the older patients were adolescents.
