Phenylketonuria (PKU) affects both genders equally, as it is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the PAH gene located on chromosome 12. This means that both males and females have an equal chance of inheriting the condition if they receive the mutated gene from both parents. There is no significant evidence to suggest that one gender is more likely to have PKU than the other.

How many people have pku?
I have PKU, and I find this question irresponsible. Instead of asking the question, "Do people die of PKU?" you apparently assume it is a fact that people can and do die of this disease without providing any evidence whatsoever. When parents first discover that their child has PKU many of them go to the web to get more information. It is bad enough that the first thing many of them read is "can lead to severe mental retardation" without realizing there are successful treatment options. But this question is even more irresponsible. I would highly recommend you revise it or clarify it, because it is dangerous and destructive.
