With this condition, a liver enzyme is missing, preventing the body from properly breaking down protein rich foods, which becomes toxic to the body. As the brain develops, high levels of "phenylalanine" can lead to severe intellectual hinderance, neurological conditions, and a failure to thrive. Everyone is tested for PKU shortly after birth, as it is passed on genetically.
