Phenylalanine tolerance test was carried out in three parents of phenylketonurics and the results compared with the test carried out in control subjects. Compared to the controls, the parents showed a delayed clearance of phenylalanine levels in blood. The findings indicate that this test could be used to detect heterozygote carriers.
