Review of current practices in management of inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism in Western Europe.

Full Abstract

Phenylketonuria is still a brilliant example that early diagnosis, immediate onset of treatment and carefully controlled diet enable the patient to grow up normally. There are, however, other inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism in which the prognosis of the affected patients--despite some progress in the recent past--is still very poor.
