As I remember from college, kids who were identified as having
PKU (phenylketonuria) at birth only had to be on a special diet
until they reached age seven.  After that, there was no problem.

I am not sure if extremely high levels of phenylalinine in later
life can do anything to you or not -- any qualified people out
there care to elaborate??

BTW, just for general knowledge, the big problem with being born
with PKU is that milk contains huge amounts of phenylalinine.
