[Three congenital metabolic diseases in the Faeroe Islands. Incidence, clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of Faeroese children with glycogen storage disease type IIIA, carnitine transporter deficiency and holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency].

Abstract excerpt

The Faeroe Islands has a high incidence of glycogen storage disease type III A, carnitine transporter deficiency and holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. In the article the incidence, symptoms and gene mutations for these three inborn errors of metabolism are reviewed both in general and in specific for children in the Faeroe Islands. None of the mutations for the three diseases is particularly frequent, but...
