Treatment and Outcome

The articles in Issue 4 of the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease Vol. 18 (1995) contain the main lectures presented at the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM), Edinburgh, UK, 1994, the theme of which was “Treatment and Outcome’.

Topics discussed included: Tyrosinaemia, cystinosis, treatment of several diseases by bone marrow transplantation, adrenoleukodystrophy, propionic and methylmalonic acidaemia, hepatic glycogen storage diseases, and disorders of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation. There was also a workshop on cystic fibrosis.

Participants from many countries provided a state-of-the-art review which will be of interest to clinicians and research workers alike.
