Background PKU is associated with low bone mass,
or osteopenia, and fractures in early adulthood.– 57% of 28 patients had
osteopenia/osteoporosis• Perez-Dueñas et al. Acta Paediatr 91:800, 2002
Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in PKU is present from an early age onward and it cannot be predicted by plasma phe levels.– 20% of 53 patients studied had osteoporosis
• de Groot et al. Mol Genet Metab 101:566, 2012
What causes skeletal fragility in PKU?
The fundamental question is whether reduced BMD is inherent to PKU or secondary to its dietary management.
In order to isolate the contributions of the PKU genotype itself and dietary treatment of PKU we have conducted a factorial experiment in PKU mice.
Objective & Design To determine how the PKU genotype and
the source of dietary protein affect growth, body composition and bone development.

Does PKU increase energy needs?
Resting energy expenditure is ~5-10% higher in adolescent females with PKU than that predicted by standard equations.– J Am Diet Assoc 110:922-25, 20101– Am J Clin Nutr 62:797-804, 1995
Reduced growth occurs in children with PKU– Mol Genet Metab 101:99-109, 2010– J Pediatr 26:1-11, 2002

GMP Improves Bone Strength in PKU and WT Mice Compared with
AA Diet
Summary
PKU mice have femora that are brittle and weak. This suggests defects in both collagen synthesis and mineralization.
GMP increases bone size and strength; femora tolerate a higher max load before fracture compared with the AA diet. – How does GMP work to improve bone strength in
mice?
What causes skeletal fragility in PKU?
Inherent to PKU genotype and/or Secondary to management with an AA
diet.
Answer = both genotype and diet
ConclusionSkeletal fragility is inherent to the
PKU genotype and is attenuated by a GMP compared with an AA diet in mice.
Future research is needed to determine if improved low-phe diets containing GMP reduce skeletal fragility in human PKU.
Take Home Message: How can bone health be improved in
PKU?
Follow a low-phe diet to improve growth and bone development
Include weight bearing exercise each day
