Adults with PKU had lower BMD Z-scores than the reference (non-PKU) population but < 1 in 10 were below the expected range for age. The low number of studies prevents identification of which population characteristics are most impacting BMD. This meta-analysis was supported by BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., Novato, CA and is registered with the Research Registry (reviewregistry1476).
