A nationwide facility-based study for determination of prevalence of ‘Inborn Errors of Metabolism’ among high-risk neonates and children in Bangladesh.

Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM), also known as congenital metabolic disorders or inherited metabolic disorders, are a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the body’s ability to carry out essential chemical reactions required for normal growth, development, and overall functioning. These disorders are typically caused by mutations in genes that encode enzymes or other proteins involved in various metabolic pathways.
