Inheritance:
• Most IEM…… autosomal recessive genetic traits
• Urea cycle disorder ornithine transcarbamylase
deficiency…….. X linked
• Some are mitochondrial inheritance
![Page 4: Inborn error of metabolism](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051709/58737f531a28ab272d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Metabolic disorders can be classified using a
variety of schemes based on:
the clinical presentation
the age of onset
the tissues or organ systems involved
the defective metabolic pathways

utilization
Cytoplasmic defects encompass those affecting glycolysis, glycogenosis, gluconeogenesis, hyperinsulinisms, and creatine and pentose phosphate pathways; the latter are untreatable.
Mitochondrial defects include respiratory chain disorders, and Krebs cycle and pyruvate oxidation defects, mostly untreatable, and
disorders of fatty acid oxidation and ketone bodies that are treatable

Treatment
Prevent Catabolism:
Administration of calories is used in the treatment of
acute episodes to try to slow down catabolism.
Limit the Intake of the Offending Substance:
the basis of treatment in Galactosemia, fructose
intolerance and PKU.
Increase Excretion of Toxic Metabolites:
by exchange transfusion, peritoneal dialysis (PD),
hemodialysis, forced diuresis, using alternative
pathways for the excretion of toxic metabolites. For
example, carnitine is useful in the elimination of organic
acids in the form of carnitine esters. Sodium benzoate
and phenylacetate are useful in treating
hyperammonemia.
![Page 42: Inborn error of metabolism](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051709/58737f531a28ab272d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Enzyme Replacement Therapy:
Human alpha glucosidase enzyme (pompe’s disease)-
Laronidase (Aldurazyme) enzyme(MPS I)patients-
Fabry-specific enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with
recombinant alpha-Gal A (Fabrazyme) is safe and
effective, Imiglucerase (Gaucher disease)
Increase the Residual Enzyme Activity:
B12 decreases the urinary levels of methyl malonate by
enhancing activity of Trans Cobalmin II
Reduce Substrate Synthesis:
Inhibition of substrate synthesis has been used as a
strategy for treating glycolipid Lysosomal storage
disease.
![Page 43: Inborn error of metabolism](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051709/58737f531a28ab272d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Replacement of the End Product:
Hypoglycaemia can be prevented by frequent feeds
during the day and continuous nasogastric feeding
at night, in infancy and early childhood. Raw
cornstarch (2 g/kg every six hours) has been shown
to be effective in preventing hypoglycaemia in older
children with glycogen storage disease type I as
well as decreasing the hyperlipidaemia,
hyperuricaemia, and lactic acidaemia
![Page 44: Inborn error of metabolism](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051709/58737f531a28ab272d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Transplantation and Gene Therapy:
For the last 25 years, hematopoietic cell
transplantation (HCT) has been used as effective
therapy for selected inborn errors of metabolism
(IEMs), mainly Lysosomal storage diseases and
Peroxisomal disorders. The main rational for HCT in
IEMs is based on the provision of correcting
enzymes by donor cells within and outside the blood
compartment
![Page 45: Inborn error of metabolism](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051709/58737f531a28ab272d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Prevention
Genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis:
The samples required are chorionic villus tissue or
amniotic fluid. Modalities available are:
• Substrate or metabolite detection: useful in
phenylketonuria, peroxisomal defects.
• Enzyme assay: useful in lysosomal storage
disorders like Niemann-Pick disease, Gaucher
disease.
• DNA based (molecular) diagnosis: Detection of
mutation in proband/ carrier parents is a
prerequisite.
Neonatal screening: tandem mass spectrometry
![Page 46: Inborn error of metabolism](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051709/58737f531a28ab272d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Selective screening for inborn errors of metabolism
by tandem mass spectrometry in Egyptian children:
A 5 year report
• A relatively high number of patients (203/3380 (6%))
were confirmed with 17 different types of IEMs.
Averages for age at diagnosis for different disorders
ranged from 2.5 months to 6.6 years with general
developmental delay and irreversible neurological
damage being the most common presenting features
(75.9% and 65.5%, respectively). Amino acid disorders
(127/203 (62.6%)), mainly phenylketonuria (100/203
(49.3%)), were the most encountered, followed by
organic acidemias (69/203 (34%)), while fatty acid
oxidation defects (7/203 (3.4%)) were relatively rare.
88% of patients were born t consanguineous parents.
