| Abstract |
|
In Korea, the study of inborn errors of metabolism is very primitive. Even the incidence and prevalence of
the disease of inborn errors of metabolism are not known in Korea. We have done this study of inborn errors
of metabolism in Korea and concluded that:
1) The varieties and incidences of inborn errors of metabolism in Korea might be relatively diverse and
high.
2) Nation wide mandatory neonatal screening test should be established and the screening for Wilson
disease and adrenogenital syndrome should be included in that project in view of the relatively high inci-
dences of these diseases in Korea.
3) To improve the diagnosis the cooperation among university services through and assistance for tech-
nical and sharing of facilities. |
