SUMMARY

The purpose of this project is to study the effectiveness of teaching teens and young women with Phenylketonuria (PKU) or Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) about their disease and nutrition related issues in a camp environment. It will also look at pregnancy outcome results in women with PKU who attended Metabolic Camp and compare their results to other women with PKU who have not attended the Metabolic Camp.

Metabolic Camp is an educational and social support program for females age 11 through adult with phenylketonuria (PKU) and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), two inherited metabolic disorders (IMD). Camp provides a supportive environment for adolescent girls and women to learn about the importance of nutrition and diet self-management, with the intention of arresting the disease process and minimizing the instances of miscarriages and severe birth defects, which are high in this population. After 20+ years, Metabolic Camp is established as a unique, national program allowing up to 35 campers to live and learn during a week of nutritional support and productive activities, while simultaneously providing researchers an opportunity to gather important data.
