Why is PKU not tested in Finland?

Because of it's rarity. In the world 1 out of 25 000 is affected by PKU. In the States, 1 out of 15 000 is affected, Turkey 1 out of 2 300. In Finland, however, only one out of 100 000 has PKU. When the chances for the child are 0,00001% to have PKU, it's not routinely tested on all infants. 20 out of 34 hospitals test for PKU, but most only if both parents are foreign and only three hospital test if one of the parent is foreign. None of them test PKU on every child.

Why is it that two normal parents could have a child with pku?

PKU, phenolketonuria, is a genetic disease caused by a recessive gene. So, a person with one normal and one faulty gene for this characteristic will not have the disease, you have to have two faulty genes to have the disease. If two people who each have one gene for PKU have a child, that child can inherit the gene from each parent and therefore will have two copies, causing the recessive trait to manifest.
