title: Registers for inherited metabolic diseases.
abstract: The use of a register for inherited metabolic diseases has many potential benefits, but it is particularly important to define clear objectives, to ensure that the design of the register should allow these objectives to be achieved and to take account of the many problems which may be encountered. The possibility that there may be alternative ways of achieving the same results should be considered.
