Babies with mental retardation are indistinguishable from other healthy babies for the first few months.

However, after the sixth month, mental retardation becomes distinguishable.The sick baby’s body is unable to break down the phenylalanine substance, a type of protein building block, and this substance that accumulates in the blood causes increasing mental retardation. As the baby grows up, it lags behind its peers in the development of sitting, walking, speaking and movement skills. During the first week following the birth of the baby, blood is drawn from the baby’s heel. This blood sample is dripped on special filter paper, which also includes the information of the baby’s family. In some cases, the test is repeated. According to the test results, the baby lives as a normal individual with timely treatment.
