A resolution designating December 3, 2021, as "National Phenylketonuria Awareness Day".

Bill 117 S.Res. 469, also known as the "National Phenylketonuria Awareness Day" resolution, aims to designate December 3, 2021, as a day to raise awareness about Phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down the amino acid phenylalanine, leading to a buildup of this substance in the blood. This can cause serious health problems if left untreated.

The resolution highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of PKU to prevent complications and improve the quality of life for individuals living with this condition. It also recognizes the efforts of healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocacy organizations in advancing research and treatment options for PKU.

By designating December 3, 2021, as "National Phenylketonuria Awareness Day," the resolution aims to educate the public about PKU, promote screening and early intervention, and support individuals and families affected by this disorder. It emphasizes the need for continued research and funding to improve outcomes for individuals with PKU and ultimately find a cure for this rare genetic condition.
