Explanation by: Mr. Dubey 
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an example of an inborn error of metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism are genetic disorders that result from abnormalities in specific enzymes or metabolic pathways. In the case of PKU, individuals inherit a genetic mutation that leads to a lack or deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase.
