Publication date: Available online 21 February 2020Source: Molecular Genetics and MetabolismAuthor(s): Gabriella A. Horvath, Robert M. Stowe, Carlos R. Ferreira, Nenad BlauAbstractPsychiatric symptoms are common manifestations in many inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs), ranging from attention deficit, anxiety and mood and behavioral disorders to psychosis. Furthermore, IEMs represent a significant percentage of all autism cases. We reviewed and updated the list of metabolic disorders known to be associated with various psychiatric manifestations and found more than 100 relevant IEMs. This represents the third of a series of articles attempting to create and maintain a comprehensive list of clinical and metabolic differential diagnoses according to organ system involvement.
