Inherited Metabolic Disorders: A Prospective Study

Gene Therapy for Inherited Metabolic Disorders in Companion Animals Inherited Metabolic Disorders in Companion Animals

Scientists fi rst described inborn errors of metabolism, also termed inherited disorders of metabolism, early in the 20th century and since then have determined the biochemical and genetic bases of a great number of these disorders both in humans and in an increasing number of companion animals. The availability of metabolic screening tests has advanced the biochemical and genetic characterizat...

the laboratory diagnosis of inherited metabolic disorders

diagnosing inherited metabolic disorders is a joint effort of both clinical and laboratory disciplines. various aspects of metabolite, enzyme and mutation analysis will be discussed based on the experience of the metabolic section of the erasmus university medical centre. where should laboratory diagnosis start from? metabolite, enzyme or dna level? the emphasis will be on enzyme analysis of th...

Study of inherited metabolic disorders in Singapore - 13 years experience.

INTRODUCTION Recommended by the National Advisory Council of the Disabled, the Ministry of Health of Singapore supported a nationwide study of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). When the 5-year project ended, investigations were provided as a diagnostic service. This paper documents our 13-year experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with symptoms suggestive of an IMD were referred. Inv...

[Inherited metabolic disorders in pediatric emergency services].

INTRODUCTION Advances in the early diagnosis and treatment have led to improved survival, and a better quality of life for patients with inherited metabolic disorders (IMD). They can go to the Pediatric Emergency Services (PES) for reasons unrelated to their disease. The purpose of this study was to review the characteristics of visitors to the PES of these patients in a tertiary hospital. MA...
