Phenylketonuria is an inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). 1 in 4500 newborns will get IEM in Singapore. So, it's compulsory for the newborns to go through Metabolic Screen in Singapore. There isn't an exact statistic that tell us how many PKU patients there are in Singapore. But yes, Singapore do have PKU patients. There isn't specific Singapore PKU patient interview online. :)
Are there known patients with PKU in singapore?
