Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Basics
Description
Description
- Defect in the type, amount, and toxicity of metabolites that accumulate due to inherited defects in metabolic pathways of enzymes, cofactors, or transporters that result in a variety of clinical findings; >500 human diseases are caused by inborn errors of metabolism
- Epidemiology:
- Incidence:
- > 1:1,000 births
- Incidence:
- Genetics:
- Common inherited metabolic diseases:
- Amino acid disorders
- Urea cycle defects
- Organic acidemias
- Defects in fatty acid oxidation
- Mitochondrial fatty acid defects and carnitine transport defects
- Mitochondrial disease
- Carbohydrate disorders
- Mucopolysaccharidoses
- Sphingolipidoses
- Peroxisomal disorders
