Onset of psychiatric signs and impaired neurocognitive domains in inherited metabolic disorders: A case series.

ABSTRACT: Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) can present with psychiatric signs that vary widely from one disease to another. This picture is further complicated by the fact that these features occur at very different illness time points, which may further delay appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
