Excerpt

This issue of the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Diseases has special focus on genetic disorders of the catabolism of the branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. These conditions comprise classic organic acidurias such as propionic acidemia, isovaleric acidemia and methylmalonic acidemias as well as several less known inborn errors of metabolism. Most of the articles are based on key presentations of the 24th Annual Meeting of the German “Arbeitsgemeinschaft für pädiatrische Stoffwechselstörungen” (APS) held in Fulda in 2010. Abstracts of the 28 oral and 17 poster presentations at that meeting are available in Monatsschr Kinderheilkd 2010;158;293–304 [doi:10.​1007/​s00112-010-2181-9]. …
