Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are a group of rare disorders caused by genetic mutations that affect enzymes of intermediary metabolism. Because adult with IEMs has become an emerging and challenging group in Switzerland, this study is intended to assess the actual situation of adult patients with IEM in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, namely their age, their sex, their diagnosis, age at disease onset and their clinical outcome including complications of the disease.

All adult patients with a biochemical and/or genetic diagnosis of IEM followed at the adult metabolic clinic from the Lausanne University Hospital and Geneva University Hospital between 01.10.2013 to 31.12.2017 will be included in the study. In addition, investigators will also include the patients referred to the clinic for suspicion of IEM and determinate if the investigation confirmed an IEM disease. Electronic and paper patient charts will be reviewed for clinical features, biochemical investigations, molecular genetic testing, diagnostic imaging, treatment and long-term outcome. All data will be entered in an Excel database.

Inclusion Criteria

* All IEM adult patients who were transitioned from the pediatric clinic to the adult metabolic clinic (the Centre for Molecular Disease in Lausanne and the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetology, Hypertension and Nutrition of the HUG) since its creation in 2013 and those who were referred to our clinic for suspicion of IEM and requiring further investigation.
