Indeed.

I googled and got this:

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare condition in which a baby is born without the ability to properly break down an amino acid called phenylalanine.

Yup that's the one. Ireland has a very high PKU rate actually. Those affected by it have to eat a very low protein diet and normally supplement with Phe-free supplements. It can be difficult to manage, but not impossible, but information about it is hard to come by.
