Several conditions and disorders were caused by enzyme defects in metabolism of imino acids. Hyperprolinemia type I and type II, hyperhydroxyprolinemia, imidopeptiduria (prolidase deficiency) were related to proline and/or hydroxyproline metabolism. Sarcosinemia and abnormality in pipecolic acid metabolism were also classified as inborn errors of imino acid metabolism. In this brief review, the outline of these genetic conditions or disorders were described. Among the genetic enzyme defects, imidopeptiduria (prolidase deficiency) caused severe clinical problems. Other conditions were thought to be benign.

D000592	Amino Acid Metabolism, Inborn Errors	Disorders affecting amino acid metabolism. The majority of these disorders are inherited and present in the neonatal period with metabolic disturbances (e.g., ACIDOSIS) and neurologic manifestations. They are present at birth, although they may not become symptomatic until later in life.
