Excellent review of strategies for the evaluation of suspected inborn errors of metabolism. Simple and eloquent writing makes this an exceptional introduction to the topic for students, residents and fellows. Organized by organ system and symptom complex, it makes for easy referencing to generate a differential diagnosis as well. Would highly recommend for genetics, neurology and pediatrics training programs. It will be instituted into our required reading for rotating residents in our Child Neurology department. The price is very reasonable and well within the means of trainees.

I'm almost half-way through this book, and for the first time I'm understanding the concepts behind metabolic diseases. Rather than overwhelming the reader with biochemistry, the author helps organize the diseases into practical categories and emphasizes concepts rather than details. This book is a good read, plus it will serve as an excellent resource for future reference. Highly recommended for any primary care provider who cares for infants and children.
