Neuropsychology of Early-Treated Phenylketonuria: Specific Executive Function Deficits.
Welsh, Marilyn C.; And Others
Child Development, v61 n6 p1697-1713 Dec 1990
Early-treated phenylketonuria (PKU) children and unaffected peers were evaluated on four executive function (EF) tasks and one nonexecutive task. The PKU children scored lower than unaffected children on EF tasks, but not on the nonexecutive task. The PKU children's composite EF score was correlated with concurrent and mean lifetime phenylalanine levels. (BC)
