title: Inborn errors of trace metal metabolism.
abstract: A variety of complex systemic, hepatic and neuropsychiatric syndromes result from inborn errors of trace metal metabolism. Some of these respond to treatment and prophylactic management while for some intractable conditions prenatal diagnosis is possible. All these abnormalities provide valuable insight into the normal metabolism of these vital elements.
