Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Children with Unexplained Developmental Delay in Misan, Iraq.

Conclusions: A high rate of IEM was detected in children with unexplained developmental delay in Misan. A high clinical suspicion with positive family history and consanguinity supported by the MS/MS results played an essential role in the diagnosis. However, implementation of newborn screening is essential for early diagnosis and to determine appropriate therapy in newborns with IEM in Iraq generally and in Misan in particular.
