The investigators will investigate the effect of blood phenylalanine on Kuvan responsiveness in the same patients with PKU when their blood phenylalanine concentrations are altered by diet. Lowering blood phenylalanine concentrations in Kuvan non-responsive patients with PKU will increase the frequency of Kuvan responsiveness.
