  8. I found some updated information, the number of people that have PKU is now 1500. PKU stands for Phenylketonuria.
    Which is basically when a baby's parents both carry this gene disorder, they say the baby is sure to get PKU, however studies have shown that girls get PKU more the boys... and know one really knows why.
