Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To date, approximately 1400 inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) have been described, some of which are treatable. It is estimated that 2% to 3% of live births worldwide are affected by treatable IMDs. Roughly 80% of IMDs are autosomal recessive, leading to a potentially higher incidence in regions with high consanguinity. METHODOLOGY: The study utilized genome sequencing data from 14,060 adult Qatari...
