PY - 2025 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Pediatrics, 27th Edition AB - Disorders in which single-gene defects cause clinically significant blocks in metabolic pathways are called inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Once considered rare, the number of recognized IEM has increased dramatically, now recognized to affect 1:1500 children. Many of these disorders can be treated effectively. Even when treatment is not available, correct diagnosis permits parents to make informed decisions about future offspring.
