Metabolic Disorders
Inborn Errors Of Metabolism
Inborn Errors Of Metabolism (IEM) -A large group of hereditary biochemical
diseases. -In autosomal dominant disorders, the structural abnormality dominates over the chemical abnormality.
-Specific gene mutation cause abnormal or missing proteins that lead to altered
function.
2
Pathophysiology
SINGLE GENE DEFECTS in synthesis or catabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, or fats.
Defect in an ENZYME or TRANSPORT PROTEIN , which results in a block in a metabolic pathway.
EFFECTS : - toxic ACCUMULATION of substrates before the block, - intermediates from ALTERNATIVE pathways - defects in ENERGY production and utilization caused by a deficiency of products beyond the BLOCK.
Every metabolic disease has several forms that vary in AGE OF ONSET , clinical severity and, often, MODE OF INHERITANCE.
Classification
Transient Hyperammonemia of Newborn Inborn Errors of Metab: • • • • •
Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency •
Organic Acidemias Fatty Acid Oxidation def Urea Cycle Defects Amino Acidurias Non-ketotic Hyperglycinemia
Sulfite Oxidase Deficiency
Metal Storage Disorders: Cholesterol Disorders: Leukodystrophies, other… •
Krabbe disease
Mitochondrial Disorders Glycogen Storage Disorders Hyperinsulinism Carbohydrate Disorders Lysosomal Disorders • • •
Mucopolysaccharidoses (Xlinked Hunter’s, Hurler’s) Gaucher disease Tay-Sachs Disease
Peroxisomal Disorders • •
Zellwegger’s (CerebroHepato-renal) X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy
Metabolic Disorders • Due to inherited reduced activities of proteins involved in the synthesis, breakdown or transport of amino acids, organic acids, fats, carbohydrates and complex macromolecules. • Most are autosomal recessive due to mutations that result in reduced enzyme activity or reduced amount of enzyme. • Pathogenesis may include: accumulation of a toxic intermediate, reduced amount of a necessary end product or activation of an alternate pathway.

Metabolic Disorders Features suggestive of metabolic disorder : From history:
Parental history : Consanguineous parents Previous unexplained neonatal deaths Particular ethnic group (in certain diseases)
8
Metabolic Disorders Features suggestive of metabolic disorder : Examination findings: Organomegaly (e.g. hepatomegaly) in the absence of viral infection. Cardiac disease Ocular involvement (e.g. cherry red spot)
Skin manifestations e.g. pigmentations. Unusual odour. Due to change in the chemicals of the urine. Non-specific neurological findings. In a non-meningitis child you have to think of metabolic disorders.
Neonatal and Post Neonatal Presentation Neonatal presentation • • • • • • •
Normal-appearing child at birth (some conditions are associated with dysmorphic features) poor feeding lethargy vomiting seizures coma unusual odour Hypoglycaemia is very dangerous, acidosis (in some defects)
10
Neonatal and Post Neonatal Presentation
Post neonatal presentation • • • • • •
Encephalopathy without the presence of infection. Developmental regression Reye syndrome ( damage of the brain and liver eventually leading to encephalopathy). Motor deficits Seizures Intermittent episodes of vomiting, acidosis, hypoglycaemia and/or coma triggered by stress e.g. infections, surgery.
Newborn Screening the earlier its detected the fewer the complications
PKU - in NICU even if not advanced to full feeds Galactosemia Hypothyroidism Hemoglobinopathies Biotinidase defic, CAH (21-OH’ase def), Maple syrup urine disease ( MSUD )
- GUTHRIE TEST: it’s a cheap test that requires only one drop of blood to check for multiple metabolic disorders.
PROCEDURES FOR DIAGNOSIC CONFIRMATION Non – Specific Tests:
Specific Tests:
•
•
Direct biochemical assays of metabolites or their metabolic byproducts, or of an enzyme’s function.
•
DNA studies
•
Neuro-radiology
•
•
Blood glucose, ammonia, bicarbonate and pH Peripheral Blood smear – WBC or bone marrow vacuolization , foam cells or granules. C.S.F. glycine , other amino acids , lactate. Amino acids shouldn’t be present in the CSF if its there it indicates a metabolic disorder.
Bone marrow transplantation is a treatment of both inborn errors of metabolism

They may come with flattened mid-face, indistinct philtrum, low nasal bridge and single palmar crease.
Small chin is called micrognathia
Low-set ears: >1/3rd of the ears lower than the line connecting the 2 pupils. Low nasal bridge: common sign, which is also seen in Down.
MANAGEMENT OF IEM Genetic: Establish diagnosis. Carrier testing. Pedigree analysis, risk counseling. Consideration of Prenatal diagnosis for pregnancies at risk. 19
MANAGEMENT OF IEM PSYCHOSOCIAL , EDUCATIONAL , FAMILIAL
Family counseling and support. Education to promote increased compliance with special form of therapy such as Protein – restricted diet.
Assessment of community resources and support groups.
20
TREATMENT OF GENETIC DISEASES •
Modify environment, e.g., diet, drugs
•
Avoid known environmental triggers
• •
BMT Surgical, correct or repair defect or organ transplantation
•
Modify or replace defective gene product, megadose vitamin therapy or enzyme replacement
•
Replace defective gene
•
Correct altered DNA in defective gene
Galactosemia
22
:
Carbohydrates
Galactosemia Enzyme deficiency: Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency. It is a rare autosomal recessive. ● Follows feeding with lactose containing (breast milk / formula) ● Patient feeds poorly , have vomiting, jaundice, hepatomegaly and hepatic failure ● Chronic liver disease ● Cataracts ● Developmental delay develop if condition is untreated., if they were given galactose free diet you will avoid the social and mental damage but they might complain of dyslexia. 23
CYSTIC FIBROSIS Cause : Loss of 3 DNA bases in a gene for the protein that transports Cl ions so salt balance is upset. Causes .a build up of thick mucus in lungs and digestive organs. It is diagnosed by sweat test: measuring the chloride concentration in the sweat
AMINO ACID DISORDERS
Phenyl Ketonuria (PKU) Phenylalanine

Phenyl pyruvic acid is what gives the urine its smell because its ketonic and acidic.

First Steps in Metabolic Therapy for IEM • Reduce precursor substrate load • Provide caloric support
• Provide fluid support • Remove metabolites via dialysis
• Divert metabolites • Supplement with cofactor(s)
Therapeutic Measures for IEM • D/C oral intake temporarily • Usually IVF’s with glucose to give 12-15 mg/kg/min glu and at least 60 kcal/kg to prevent catabolism (may worsen pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency) • Bicarb/citrate Carnitine/glycine • Na Benzoate/arginine/citrulline • Dialysis--not exchange transfusion • Vitamins--often given in cocktails after labs drawn before dx is known • Biotin, B6, B12, riboflavin, thiamine, folate
Important IEM Treatment supplements:
• Carnitine for elimination of Organic Acid through creation of carnitine esters.
• Sodium Benzoate, phenylacetate and phenylbutyrate for Hyperammonemia elimination.
CARNITINE METABOLISM • An essential nutrient found in highest concentration in red meat. • Primary function : Transport long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation. • Carnitine supplementation in fatty acid oxidation disorders and organic acidosis may augment excretion of accumulated metabolites , but may not prevent metabolic crises in such patients . • Carnitine is an endogenous metabolite but can be given as supplementations.
CARNITINE METABOLISM • Primary defects of carnitine transport manifest as Reye syndrome , cardiomyopathy or skeletal myopathy with hypotonia • Secondary carnitine deficiency is due to diet ( esp. I.V alimentation or ketogenic diet ) , renal losses , drug therapy ( esp. valproic acid) and other metabolic disorders ( esp. disorders of fatty acid oxidation and organic acidemias ) • Prognosis depends on the cause of the carnitine abnormality. • Free and esterified carnitine can be measured in blood. • Oral or I.V. L-carnitine is used in carnitine deficiency or lnsufficiency in doses of 25-100mg/kgm/day or higher.
