Summary
This study tested a new method called global metabolomic profiling to diagnose inborn errors of metabolism, a group of rare genetic disorders. Researchers compared this approach to traditional testing in 240 participants. The goal was to see if the new method could more accurately identify specific metabolic problems, which could lead to earlier and better treatment.
