inborn errors of metabolism  

Définition(s)

  • Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are singlegene disorders that block a normal metabolic process and produce a nonmetabolized substance that often has serious, in some cases fatal, consequences. Each of the over 300 known IEMs is of low prevalence in the population at large, ranging from 1/10,000 to perhaps 1/350,000 births, but in combination affect about 1 in every 2,500 to 5,000 births.
