Inborn Errors of Metabolism: Disorders of the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids and D-glycerate kinase deficiency
Our research group studies rare genetic defects in metabolic pathways. We are aiming at a better understanding of pathomechanisms underlying such inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Many metabolic diseases result in early death or severe handicaps if they are not treated in an adequate manner. Early diagnosis is a prerequisite for therapeutic approaches, which may enable normal development in some of those diseases.
