Prospects for Gene Therapy Now and in the Futuretion since it will involve the addition of corrective genes to the host cell genome. It may only be used to treat recessively inherited disorders. Prospects for the future include the use of homologous recombination to correct or replace defective genes, allowing the treatment of dominantly inherited diseases.

Gene Mapping of Mineral Metabolic Disordersave been mapped. The molecular and genetic studies which localized these disease genes are described and the implications of this gene mapping in genetic counselling and in further elucidation of the mineral metabolic defects are discussed.

The task of providing prenatal diagnosis for these couples requires a team approach between clinicians and scientists, and

Apart from a stimulating year spent in Vienna where he learned about some of the new scientific techniques in medicine, he spent the next 7 years working in his father’s West End practice.

Many of these conditions can be diagnosed clinically with the aid of simple laboratory investigations. Since a substantial number of these diseases respond well to treatment but may otherwise be fatal, and in order to assure adequate prenatal diagnosis in subsequent pr

Acute Metabolic Encephalopathy: A Review of Causes, Mechanisms and Treatmentormed during the acute illness (blood sugar, blood gases, plasma ammonia, blood lactate, plasma ketones, plasma amino acids, liver function tests, and urinary organic acids) should identify those patients in whom a metabolic disorder is likely. More detailed studies may be needed to establish a prec

The case for mass screening for galactosaemia and for maple syrup urine disease is not very strong; they could be considered under the heading of ‘urgent screening of the sick newborn’. It is difficult to find good arguments for mass screening for congenital adrenal hyperpl

A Clinical Biochemist’s View of the Investigation of Suspected Inherited Metabolic Disease it not feasible and inefficient to run a full metabolic investigation programme in every new patient suspected of inherited metabolic disease. An application form for metabolic investigation is described, which can be used to collect clinical information relevant to metabolic disease. On the basis
