When there is a mutation in a gene that produces an enzyme, it can cause disease. Phenylketonuria<span> or PKU is a rare inherited disorder that causes the build up of phenylalanine. This can lead to brain damage in individuals with this disorder if they don't eat a very protein-- restricted diet. The gene mutation doesn't allow the creation of the </span>enzyme<span>needed to break down Phenylalanine, an amino acid in proteins.
