Dietary management of inborn errors of amino acid metabolism. 1979

D O'Brien

Individually, inborn errors of amino acid metabolism are rare. Collectively, however, they constitute a significant group of diseases whose number is constantly increasing. Their recognition is important, especially in childhood, because many of these diseases respond well to diet therapy.
