Organic Acidemias are a group of inheritable genetic metabolic disorders in which there is a defect in protein metabolism where an essential enzyme is absent or malfunctioning. This defect results in a build up of chemicals, in this case usually acids, on one side of the metabolic blockage and a deficiency of vital chemicals on the other. This causes an overdosage of one chemical (often toxic) and the shortage of another which is essential to normal body functioning.
Methylmalonic Acidemia is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain proteins and fats (lipids) properly.
(AKA Propoionyl CoA Carboxylase Deficiency) is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain proteins and fats.
2-Methyl-3-Hydroxybutyric Acidemia (2M3HBA) is an inherited condition in which the body is unable to break down certain proteins.
2-Methylbutyryl-CoA Dehydrogenase (or Short/Branched-Chain Acyl-coA Dehydrogenase; SBCAD) Deficiency.
3-Hydroxyisobutyric Aciduria is a rare metabolic condition in which the body is unable to breakdown certain amino acids (the building blocks of protein).
3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA Carboxylase Deficiency is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain proteins properly.
