   It is "one of the great stories in genetics" because it showed that genetic diseases can be treated, said Dr. Harvey Levy, director of the Maternal PKU Program at Children's Hospital Boston.
   
   But Levy said the only current treatment is a forbiddingly strict diet: measured amounts of fruit and some vegetables, and a protein drink.
   
   Unfortunately, he said, the pill, called tetrahydrobiopterin or BH4, only worked well in 20 to 30 percent of the people who have tried it in Europe.
   
   But it could help thousands in this country, letting some drop the special diet and others relax it, he said in an earlier interview.
