Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism - what does this mean

Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism are caused by deficiencies in enzymes responsible for breaking down proteins, leading to the accumulation of amino acids in the body. this can cause a range of symptoms, including mental retardation, neurologic symptoms, failure to thrive, and metabolic acidosis.

What happens during the disease - other disorders of amino-acid metabolism

Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism are caused by genetic mutations that affect the body's ability to break down and absorb amino acids. this can lead to an accumulation of amino acids in the body, which can cause problems with protein synthesis, energy production, and other metabolic processes. additionally, the accumulation of toxic metabolites can cause further damage to cells and organs, resulting in a wide range of symptoms.
