Blue diaper syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive or X linked recessive metabolic disorder characterized in infants by bluish urine-stained diapers. It is also known as Drummond's syndrome, and hypercalcemia.
(GSD 3, Forbes disease, Cori disease, limit dextrinosis, glycogen debrancher deficiency, GDE deficiency, AGL deficiency) Infant or child onset, often at puberty some symptoms improve. Liver: Hepatomegaly, growth retardation, hyperlipidemia, hypoglycemia. Occasional seizures related to hypoglycemia. Adult cirrhosis in some.
Inborn errors of metabolism are often referred to as congenital metabolic diseases or inherited metabolic disorders. [2] Another term used to describe these disorders is "enzymopathies". This term was created following the study of biodynamic enzymology , a science based on the study of the enzymes and their products.
Following a specific trigger, symptoms such as yellowish skin, dark urine, shortness of breath, and feeling tired may develop. [1] [2] Complications can include anemia and newborn jaundice. [2] Some people never have symptoms. [3] It is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in defective glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme. [1]
PKU is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder. As an autosomal recessive disorder, two PKU alleles are required for an individual to experience symptoms of the disease. For a child to inherit PKU, both parents must have and pass on the defective gene. [17]
A congenital disorder of glycosylation (previously called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome) is one of several rare inborn errors of metabolism in which glycosylation of a variety of tissue proteins and/or lipids is deficient or defective. Congenital disorders of glycosylation are sometimes known as CDG syndromes.
Symptoms of HFI include vomiting, convulsions, irritability, poor feeding as a baby, hypoglycemia, jaundice, hemorrhage, hepatomegaly, hyperuricemia and potentially kidney failure. [1] There are reported deaths in infants and children as a result of the metabolic consequences of HFI. Death in HFI is always associated with problems in diagnosis. [2]
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.. CPS I deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [1] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
