Toxic Metabolites and Inborn Errors of Amino Acid Metabolism: What One Informs about the Other
In inborn errors of metabolism, such as amino acid breakdown disorders, loss of function mutations in metabolic enzymes within the catabolism pathway lead to an accumulation of the catabolic intermediate that is the substrate of the mutated enzyme.

Moroccan Experience of Targeted Screening for Inborn Errors of Metabolism by Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Background: Expanded newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), such as organic acidemias (OAs), fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAODs), and amino acid disorders (AAs), is increasingly popular but has ...

Citrullinemia and Hyperglycinemia Presenting with Seizures - Case Report of a 4 Day Old Baby
Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism (IEM) are of concern in India, the spectrum being wide, varied and poorly diagnosed. Since aggregate incidence of inborn errors of metabolism is relatively high, in countries such as India, a high degree of ...
