Neuropathies are relatively common in inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs); however, due to the early onset and severe, progressive course of many IEMs, they have not been very well researched yet. This article aims to review and compare neuropathies in inborn errors of metabolism, mostly with childhood and juvenile onset. Some of these diseases are treatable if diagnosed early and in many cases, the therapy can not only slow down disease progression, but can also reverse the changes already made by the condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
