January 20th – Inborn Errors Of Metabolism In Adults: Challenges And Opportunities In An Emerging Distinct Population
Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism have resulted in an emerging population of adult
patients who face unique challenges in diagnosis, management and transition to adult care. Approaching these patients as a
distinct population can provide a foundation for further research, and facilitate improvements in the care of adult metabolic
patients.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify unique management considerations in the transition to adult care for patients with childhood-onset IEMs
- Distinguish adult-onset IEMs from classic presentations and discuss associated challenges in diagnosis and management
- Outline future directions for the advancement of care in adults with IEMs
