Thirty-four children of 11 mothers with untreated hyperphenylalaninemia had a pattern of malformation consisting of prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly and central nervous system dysfunction, increased incidence of malformations, and a peculiar facial appearance. Maternal hyperphenylalaninemia appears to be teratogenic, with a variability related to the blood phenylalanine concentration.
