Main themes
Genetic basis of inborn errors of metabolism are first reviewed: mutations, patterns of inheritance (autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked and mitohondrial transmissions). Next chapters adress the major groups of inborn errors of metabolism : amino-acids, carbohydrates, lipids, purine and pyrimidine, porphyria, neurotransmitters. Peroxisomal, lysosomal and mitochondrial disorders are also described as well as congenital defects of glycosylation.. Each group of diseases are described in relation with the biochemical pathway involved: clinical and biological presentations, physiopathological mechanisms, diagnostic approach, treatment, prognosis and genetic abnormalities. In the last part, inborn errors are reviewed by the way of the study of differential diagnosis of several clinical and biochemical presentations.
