Cover Story: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder managed through a strict, lifelong low-phenylalanine diet, which may influence gut microbiome dynamics. While gut bacterial alterations in PKU are increasingly investigated, the fungal community (mycobiome) remains largely unexplored. This study investigated gut mycobiome composition in 20 children (10 with PKU and 10 that were healthy), using ITS1/ITS2 amplicon sequencing and three-day dietary records. While overall fungal richness (alpha diversity) was similar, compositional differences (beta diversity) suggested group-specific profiles. Dietary treatment in PKU is associated with age-dependent shifts in the gut mycobiome, notably increasing the abundance of taxa such as Aspergillaceae and Penicillium. These findings highlight the potential of gut fungi as nutritional and clinical biomarkers in PKU. View this paper
