Abstract
After a series of meetings held at the headquarters of the Medical Research Council in 1962 and 1963 a committee, under the chairmanship of the late Sir Alan Moncrieff, decided to collect information relating to the diagnosis and progress of all phenylketonuric patients born in the United Kingdom on and after January 1st 1964. Out of this project has developed the Phenylketonuria Register for the United Kingdom, now maintained at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool. The original committee has been replaced by a small steering committee which meets about once a year.
Dr Hudson died on 2nd June 1976.
