LNAA Competition Therapy, Illustrated. The other large neutral amino acids compete with phe for the one transporter into the brain, so less phe gets in. The LAT1 model shows how and why it works. Run the model: app.phebe.life/clear/lat1-co… #PKU #RareDisease

PKU hero: @AkshayGurav_ won the $2,000 Phebe hackathon prize with algorithmic efficiencies for the phe estimator, a repeatable hackathon framework, and a PKU food management app, all open source. github.com/Cureledger/pku-co… #PKU #PKUCommons

One of the things we do with tech at Phebe is make research easier to understand for people affected by PKU. This model illustrates what happens at the blood-brain-barrier #phenylketonuria
Phebe has illustrated a series of research papers about what it is like to live with PKU. The first dynamic model: what happens when you eat protein. Run the model: app.phebe.life/clear/what-ha… #PKU #RareDisease

Acting @FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas, @FDA_KyleD, sat down for a fireside chat with #NORD President and CEO Pam Gavin to kick off the 2026 #NORDSummit, where he shared that the #FDA is committed to modernizing its review process and is relying on #RareDisease patient voices to help shape its fit-for-purpose regulatory framework. We appreciated the opportunity to break down what that will entail, and we're excited to be a partner in this crucial, timely mission.

This is the Phebe mission. Patient and family driven PKU research to address gaps that became chasms the old system
At the @RareDiseases conference with @FDA_KyleD discussing integrating patient voices early. I’m old enough to remember when we were not welcome at the table. Thank you for the leadership!

#Mentalhealth and #PKU care shouldn't exist in two completely different silos. Caregiver reports are often the only bridge connecting neurodivergent traits in PKU patients to the support they actually need. @ninakilbride @phebepku
E.S.PKU: neurodivergent traits reported by caregivers They need caregiver reports because mental health is completely siloed from PKU care

Phenylalanine to tyrosine ratio is key. Phe-free food lacks tyrosine so we need to supplement it
Another (again still small) study showing Phe-Tyrosine ratio is relevance; reason: Tyrosine influences neurotransmitter Dopamine; ppl who have #pku #phenylketonuria don't convert Phe into Tyrosine. One reason why full dose protein substitute is VITAL😎😎😎 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Paraphrasing Dr Waisburn: “There is no instrument to discern the confounding factors of high blood phenylalanine and the effects of low protein diet.” Lack of patient participation is a problem - we’re on it
