Inborn errors of metabolism involve molecular- or cellular-level blocks. Examples of inborn errors of metabolism diagnosed during childhood are glycogen-storage diseases (inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism) and medium-chain fatty acid disorders (inborn errors of fat metabolism) diagnosed in older siblings or family members after the birth of an infant identified with the same disorder by newborn screening. PKU is a well-known example of an inborn error of metabolism.
