Svensk definition
Fel i hjärnans ämnesomsättning pga medfödda, primärt enzymatiska, bristtillstånd. Flertalet av dessa sjukdomar är ärftliga, men spontana förändringar kan också förekomma. Bristfällig enzymverksamhet kan ge upphov till funktionsstörningar genom ansamling av något ämne, genom underproduktion av ämnen, eller genom att förorsaka alternativa metaboliska processer.
Engelsk definition
Brain disorders resulting from inborn metabolic errors, primarily from enzymatic defects which lead to substrate accumulation, product reduction, or increase in toxic metabolites through alternate pathways. The majority of these conditions are familial, however spontaneous mutation may also occur in utero.
