Abstract
The outcomes of mild hyperphenylalaninemia (MHP) in three children of two sisters were compared. The IQ of the child from an untreated pregn ancy was 105; the developmental quotients of the two infant offspring from treated and untreated pregnancies were 122 and 114, respectively. The IQ of the sister with untreated MHP was 101; that of the sister w ho received dietary treatment for MHP during infancy was 90. Thus MHP and maternal MHP appear to have been clinically inconsequential in thi s family.
