Introducción Los síndromes cerebro-renales constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de entidades en las que coexisten afectación del sistema nervioso central y disfunción renal, ya sea por un mecanismo fisiopatológico común (defecto de una vía metabólica que afecta a ambos órganos) o por la expresión pleiotrópica de un gen que se expresa de forma crítica en cerebro …

Mitochondrial diseases.
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of genetic disorders that affect the mitochondria, the cellular structures responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). These diseases are caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA or in nuclear genes that encode proteins related to mitochondrial function. Because mitochondria are…

Metabolic diseases with dysmorphia.
In Vademecum Metabolicum there are different guides depending on the clinical scenario, including metabolic diseases that present with dysmorphia:
Diseases peroxisomal.
When do you suspect an error congenital metabolism?
Inborn errors of metabolism are diseases usually of autosomal recessive inheritance (although there are some of X-linked inheritance), and in some cases they are susceptible to curative treatment, which is why it is important to identify them early.
Coarse facies.
There are many metabolic diseases characterized by coarse facies. Most of them are storage diseases and present a progressive phenotype that becomes more evident with age, making early diagnosis difficult. The best strategy is to implement a targeted screening, using GAGs in a...
Metabolic diseases are linked to X.
Most inborn errors of metabolism are autosomal recessive diseases. However, there are some exceptions. For a complete list of all X-linked diseases, you can consult OMIM.
