Inborn errors of metabolism are inherited metabolic disorders individually rare, but, taken together, their overall frequence is about 1 case out of 1000 newborns. The present study aimed to describe the main clinical features, as well as the general principles of investigation for these diseases. They were divided into two categories, one of the small molecules (aminoacidopathies, organic acidemias, etc) and the other of the complex molecules (lisossomal storage disorders, peroxisomal disorders, etc). Some of the most frequent groups of inborn errors of metabolism such as the aminoacidopathies, the organic acidemias and the mucopolissacharidosis, were discussed in detail.
