An individual who cannot produce phenylalanine would not be viable so I believe what you are asking about is Phenylketonuria which is a genetic disorder found is infants who cannot properly digest phenylalanine (they can manufacture it).
Hospitals test for this disorder in newborns because it is imperative to place babies that test positive on a strict diet to prevent the mental retardation that is associated with the disorder. Early intervention results in a nearly normal life.
