What is the abbreviation for Phenylketonuria?

  1. PKN

  2. PNK

  3. PKU

  4. KPU

The correct answer is: PKU

Phenylketonuria is a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down the amino acid phenylalanine. The abbreviation for phenylketonuria is PKU, not PKN, PNK, or KPU. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect because they contain incorrect order of letters or do not include all of the necessary letters to accurately represent the abbreviation for Phenylketonuria. Therefore, option C, PKU, is the correct answer.
