Synergistic heterozygosity: disease resulting from multiple partial defects in one or more metabolic pathways.

Abstract excerpt

Inborn errors of metabolism show considerable variation in the severity of symptoms. This is often ascribed to the differential effects of specific mutations on gene/enzyme function; however, such genotype/phenotype correlations are usually imprecise. In addition, in some patients with clinical and biochemical findings consistent with a defect in a particular metabolic pathway, it is ultimately impossible to...
