Inborn Errors of Metabolism - Dr. Tumelo Satekge

This course covers key biochemical processes such as phenylalanine/tyrosine pathway, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogen, galactose metabolism, branched chain amino acids metabolism, urea cycle, and fatty acid oxidation. It also includes clinical approaches and investigations of essential inborn errors of metabolism. The course outlines approaches to disorders of complex molecules like lysosomal storage diseases and peroxisomal disorders. Students will learn about chromatography, tyrosine pathway, organic acid analysis, urea cycle, and treatment methods. The course is designed for individuals interested in understanding inborn errors of metabolism and related clinical approaches.
