European PKU group annual symposium
March 25th - 26th, 2011 in Lisbon, Portugal
Aim of the symposium
There is no doubt that the early identification of PKU and prompt intervention have allowed most individuals to escape from mental retardation. Dietary restriction of phenylalanine remains the mainstay of treatment but PKU is an active area of research and new treatment options are emerging that may reduce the burden of the difficult and restrictive diet on patients and their families.

Learning objectives
After attending this symposium, the participants will have up-to-date knowledge about:
- Pathophysiology of PKU
- Diagnosis, classification, and genetics of PKU
- Maternal and adult PKU
- Nutritional treatment
- Current trials in PKU
- Advances in PKU research on pharma-chaperons
- Other treatment options
