About this trial
The GENOPHEN study aims to explore the links between the genome, metabolomic profile, and clinical phenotype in adults with early-treated PKU.

PKU patients over the age of 18,
diagnosed through the newborn screening program,
patients who participated in the final visit of the ECOPHEN study,
affiliation with a health insurance plan,
Disqualifiers
Patients whose PKU diagnosis was not detected during neonatal screening,
Patients who have not signed a dated informed consent form,
Patients who are unable to provide a saliva sample.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Identification of metabolite clusters
untargeted metabolomic analysis of plasma samples collected during the ECOPHEN study Phenylalanine level (\> 900 µmol/L, 900-600 µmol/L, \< 600 µmol/L), response to BH4 (Complete response: decrease in Phe levels after treatment leading to normalization of Phe levels; partial response: 30% decrease without normalization; non-responder: decrease of less than 30% in Phe levels.)
Identification of genetic variants DNAJC12, HULC, SLC7A5, and SHANK and other ones
genome sequencing of DNA collected from saliva samples during the GENOPHEN study. The DNAJC12, HULC, SLC7A5, and SHANK (SHANK1, SHANK2, and SHANK3) variants will be listed and classified as frequent (allele frequency \> 1%) or rare (allele frequency \< 1%) according to the gnomAD database. The same will apply to other variants potentially identified by genome sequencing.
Secondary outcomes
Number of patients with neurological complications
average intelligence quotient (IQ)
WAIS IV results identified in the ECOPHEN cohort study (\>= 130 : Very superior; 120-129 Superior; 110-119 High average; 90-109 Average; 80-89 : Low average; 70-79 Borderline; =\< 69 Extremely low)
California Verbal Learning Test
CVLT results identified in the ECOPHEN cohort study. There is no minimum or maximum score; it is a "raw" score.
Trail Making Test
TMT results identified in the ECOPHEN cohort study. This is the number of seconds it takes to finish connecting the points on a "path" consisting of 25 points; the lower the number, the better (the patient is faster), but there isn't really a minimum and no maximum.
