Following the rapid expansion of this group of disorders and the elucidation of numerous cellular roles played by the affected molecules, a small group of IEM specialists met in Paris on June 14–15, 2013, to discuss the diagnostic approach and classification of IEM affecting the synthesis and remodeling of complex lipids. …
