Phenylketonuria: MedlinePlus Genetics
Phenylketonuria (commonly known as PKU) is an inherited disorder that increases the levels of a substance called phenylalanine in the blood . Phenylalanine is a protein building block (an amino acid ) that is obtained from eating certain foods (such as meat, eggs, nuts, and milk) and in some artificial sweeteners. medlineplus.gov

Phenylketonuria (PKU) - Mother To Baby | Fact Sheets - NCBI Bookshelf
Breastfeeding while I have PKU: A person with PKU can breastfeed. PKU is not transmitted in breastmilk. If a baby does not have PKU, the available data suggests that the baby's body is able to breakdown the Phe in breast milk. It is important to remain on a special diet while breastfeeding the baby to minimize exposure to high levels of Phe.

Is this a simple Hardy-Weinberg problem? Phenylketonuria is a severe developmental disability due to a rare autosomal recessive allele. Approximately 1 in every 10,000 newborns suffer from this disease. Calculate the ...
Yes, your answers are correct. Of course, your calculations forced you to make the standard Hardy-Weinberg assumptions such as random mating. Good job!

In terms of the way that the question is worded, I imagine the most likely answer would be that the amino acid substitution D > H disrupts the folding of the protein so that it is recognised as being aberrant and is rapidly degraded.
