Genetic Characteristics of IEM
IEM are usually Autosomal recessive. Consanguinity is always relatively common. Some are x-linked recessive condition including:
o Adrenoleukodystrophy.o Agammaglobulinemia.o Fabry’s disease.o Granulomatous disease.o Hunter’s Syndrome.o Lesch – Nyhan Syndrome.o Menke’s Syndrome.
A few inherited as autosomal dominant trait including:porphyria, hyperlipedemia, hereditary angioedema.

Signs and Symptoms of IEM
Early symptoms in the antenatal and neonatal preiod (non-specific)
Later-onset acute and recurrent attacks of symptoms such as coma, ataxia, vomiting and acidosis
Chronic and progressive generalized symptoms which can be mainly gastrointestinal, muscular or neurological Specific and permanent organ presentations suggestive
cardiomyopathy, hepatomegaly, lens dislocation etc.
![Page 12: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Acute symptoms in neonatal period and early infancy
The neonate has a limited repertoire of responses to severe illness. IEM may present with nonspecific symptoms;Respiratory disstressHypotoniaPoor sucking reflexVomittingDiarrheaDehydratationLethargySeizures
![Page 13: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Later onset acute and recurrent attacks
• In about 50% of the patients with IE intermediary metabolism disorders onset later. The symptom free period is often longer than one year and may extend into late childhood, adolescence or even adulthood.
• Each attack can follow a rapid course ending either in spontaneous improvement or unexplained death.
• Between attacks the patient may appear normal Coma,strokes and attacks of vomiting with lethargy
Acute psychiatric symptoms (UCD, congenital hyperammonemia)
Dehydratation
![Page 14: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chronic and progressive general symptoms
Gastrointestinal symptoms occur in a wide variety of IEM;
persistent anorexia, feeding difficulities
chronic vomiting, diarrhea Muscle symptoms such as severe hypotonia,
muscular weakness Neurological symptoms are very frequent in IEM;
progressive psychomotor retardation
seizures
defects of peripheral and central nervous system
psychiatric symptoms

Specific organ symptoms
A number of clinical and biological abnormalities can be associated with inherited IEM;Cardiac (cardiomyopathy, cardiac failure, arrythmias)Dermatology (alopecia, hyperkeratosis, xanthoma)Hepatic (jaundice, cirrhosis, liver failure)Ocular (cataracts, corneal opacity)Dysmorphism (coarse face)
![Page 16: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Main Metabolic Presentations
• Metabolic acidosis
• Ketosis
• Hyperlactatemia
• Hyperammonemia
• Hypoglycemia
![Page 17: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic acidosis is a very common finding in pediatrics. It can be observed in a large variety of acquired conditions, including infections, severe catabolic states, tissue anoxia, severe dehydration, and intoxication, all of which should be ruled out.
•pH <7.35
•Excess H+
•HCO3 deficit
•Calculate anion gap
– Na – (Cl + HCO3)
– Normal is 8-16meq/l
![Page 18: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Metabolic Acidosis
• If Chloride is increased- HCO3 wasting
GI or renal disorders
• If Chloride is Normal and
Anion gap is > 16--- excess acid production
Approach is to give Na HCO3
• If unresponsive to HCO3-- IEM
![Page 19: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ketosis
Ketonuria should always be considered abnormal in neonates,
while it is a physiological result of catabolism in late infancy, childhood and even adolescence.
A general rule, hyperketosis at a level that produces metabolic acidosis isn’t physiological.
![Page 20: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hyperlactatemia
Lactate and pyruvate are normal metabolites.
Their plasma levels reflect the equilibrium between their cytoplasmic production from glycolysis and their mitochondrial consumption by different tissues.
The blood levels L/P ratio reflect redox state of the cells.
![Page 21: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hyperammonemia
• Normal ammonia level- < 50 umol/l
• > 200 -- IEM
• If within 24 hours of life; preterm
• After 24 hours- IEM
The differential diagnosis of hyperammonemia is wide.
In the neonatal period, the most common DD are organic acidemias (Propionic and methylmalonic).
![Page 22: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hypoglycemia
• Glucose level helps in the differential diagnosis
• Approach to hypoglycemia is based on four major clinical criteria;
– Liver size
– Characteristic timing of hypoglycemia
– Association with lactic acidosis
– Association with hyperketosis or hypoketosis
![Page 23: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Approach to the patient with IEM
1. Determine if there is metabolic acidosis
2. Is anion gap >16?
3. Is there hypoglycemia?
4. Is there hyperammonemia? Within 24 hours of life
After 24 hours of life
![Page 24: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Metabolic acidosis + hyperammonemia
• Request for specific lab studies
• Consult metabolic specialist
• Initial therapy- stabilize patient!
• Long term treatment- based on specific IEM

Newborn Screening for IEM
• Basic concept– Goal is to detect diagnostic markers of metabolic
disease in asymptomatic infants
– Disease should be frequent enough to have a favorable cost-benefit ratio
– Should screen for diseases we can do something for, i.e., therapy available
– Low false positive and false negative rates

Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Autosomal recessive inherited IEM caused by mutations in the gene of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme. (500 different mutations)
Defects in either phenylalanine hydroxylase PAH or the production of tetra hydrobiopterin (BH4) may result hyperphenilalaninemia. (dihydropterine reductase deficiency)
![Page 33: Inborn Error of Metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are individually rare but collectively numerous genetic diseases, in which specific gene](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f2e5503460f94c48646/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
• Severe PAH deficiency which results in blood phenylalanine greater than 1200 after normal protein intake, is referred to as classical PKU
• Milder defects associated with levels between 600-1200 are termed hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA).
• Disorders of BH4 metabolism called malignant PKU or malignant HPA.

Glycogen Storage Disorders
The glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are caused by defects of glycogen degradation, glycolysis and paradoxically glycogen synthesis.
Glycogen is found in most tissues, but is especially abundant in liver and muscle.
Despite some overlap the GSDs can divided in 3 main groups:
1.The Liver Glycogenoses
2.The Muscle Glycogenoses
3.The Generalized Glycogenoses and Related Disorders
