abstract：:The pathogenesis of brain dysfunction in phenylketonuria (PKU) is still under investigation. Hyperphenylalaninaemia results in increased turnover of myelin. In order to demonstrate the derangement of myelinization in PKU we studied the visual evoked potentials (VEP) in 14 PKU patients and in 20 normal subjects. VEP fi...
