PKU happens in people of all ethnic groups around the world. It happens more often in people whose families come from Ireland and other parts of Northern Europe. It is also more common in people from Turkey and Native Americans. PKU is less common in people of African, Japanese or Ashkenazi Jewish backgrounds. About 1 in every 50 Caucasians is a PKU carrier.
