title: Information system for the support of research, diagnosis and therapy of inborn metabolic diseases.
abstract: We developed an information system for inborn metabolic diseases. The system consists of three parts. The first part is the MD-Cave for information on laboratory findings, genes, enzymes and metabolic pathways. The second part (ASDB) concerns with active agents and their different mechanisms of action inside the metabolic pathway and possible therapeutic treatment of these illnesses. The third part deals with the integration of these and other data bases for easy access to different information. This information system can be helpful for scientists and physicians working in the field of inborn metabolic diseases.
