- While searching for a new way of diagnosing cancer with urine testing, high school student Nathan Kuehne inadvertently stumbled upon a new way of testing for Phenulketonuria - one with life-changing implications for PKU patients around the world.
A Grade 12 student at Glenlyon Norfolk School, Nathan Kuehne created a much-needed self-diagnostic test for Phenulketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder. He also recently won a gold medal at the Canada Wide Science Fair. When Nathan graduates, he plans to pursue a career in engineering or medicine with a focus on research.

Our daughter was diagnosed last month at 7 days old as well. You're not alone. Thank you Nathan for working hard to help those with PKU!
I'm so happy I know this guy! Hope you make more amazing scientific breakthroughs Nathan!
I have classical pku and always thought about something like this. It would make monitoring levels so much easier and faster
wow what an amazing contribution to the pku community, I hope this student gets all the funding and support he needs to achieve all his goles pku and others

Nathan hi I'm brenda 34 from NH I'm PKU. I came across your video searching PKU. First let me say, You are my hero!!! Like Amanda, some day I dream of having a healthy baby of my own. It has been quite a struggle with such a strict diet to keep my levels low. When I heard everything you had to say I thought it was a dream. I hope with all my heart you succeed with your amazing idea. It truly would change my world. I've been waiting a long time for someone like you to step up and challenge this very invention for an at home device to find out our levels quicker. I hope to see more of your wonderful research and development soon. - Your BIG FAN Brenda!!!!!
Вот это да! Какой молодец! У нас путь 2 недели занимает...тоже ждать приходится. Будем очень ждать новостей!
Hi Nathan,
This is absolutely fantastic! This would be such a game changer in my everyday life... By far the most exciting development in PKU research (in my opinion). Are you still working on this?? I'd love to know if this is any closer to market... where can I find more info??
Thank you so so so much for your hard work!!
This was 5 years ago...I was hoping for a break through by now!
Why this video has such less views?? Oh please promote and share it more so that people can get aware man
I quick google search shows that this "DIY Test" isn't available, or at least available to the public. It is now 2017, how is this helping ?
dealing with headaches and malaise due to a mild form of pku, I try to crowd out the phenylanine with BCAA amino acids, and I seem to be able to deal with the headaches, insomnia and general malaise using lemon grass tea.
넌 반드시 성공할거야
И большое ему спасибо с Дальнего Востока России!
