Thank you so much for making me aware of your adult PKU clinic. My son,
Daniel, has been attending St. Christopher's Hospital for Children's PKU
clinic since he was 13 days old. No one there ever mentioned the existence
of a clinic in the state for adult PKU patients.
Could you give me anymore information about your clinic so that I may pass it
onto our other families in Pennsylvania who have adult members with PKU?
Thank you very much.

Dear Dr F/Chris,
And you have a Department of Metabolism, too--yes? Is Dr. Marc Yudkoff still
there? The gamut of iem's is dealt with there, right?
Just for my/all of our information...
Thanks
Susan
You're thinking of Children's Hospital next door. We treat adults who
"outgrow" CHOP's Metabolism Department at the Hospital of the University
of Pennsylvania in our Division of Medical Genetics, which has a
Metabolism Clinic.
I think Mark Yudkoff is still at CHOP or Seashore House, which CHOP bought.

Thank you, Dr. Friedrich. I'm curious because of a directory that Dr. Harvey Levy of Mass. General/Boston Children's gave me a few years back to help parents of kids with ultra-rare B12 iems who contact me to find expert care in their area.
Good to know you have a well-developed system for older-person follow-up. Even with thorough pediatric care, decent adult follow-up is hard to find in many places. I appreciate your answering my question.
Have a good summer.
Susan
