Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The tyrosine chromatography is done to detect Phenyle ketonuria an inborn error of metabolism.
The value seems to be normal.
If phenylketonuria is suspected milk free from phenyle alanine (Lophenolac) is advised.
Breast milk contains phenylealanine.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
