The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of this disorder in southern Iran. Methods: All the neonates born between 22/Dec/2004 and 7/Sep/2007 were screened and their blood samples were tested by colorimetric and high performance liquid chromatography methods to obtain a diagnosis of phenylketonuria. Results: Of the screened newborns (87091 females and 88143 males) 15 female and 13 male neonates were diagnosed definitely as having phenylketonuria. Conclusion: The incidence of phenylketonuria in girls and boys was 1.7 in 10000 and 1.5 in 10000, respectively (mean: 1.6 in 10000) in southern Iran (Fars province). | ||
