Growth and development in children with metabolic disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with inborn errors of metabolism (genetic conditions that affect how the body processes food into energy) grow and develop. It aims to understand their health needs and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 5 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of an inborn error of metabolism (a genetic condition that affects how the body converts food into energy).
- Your child is being seen at the study locations in Assiut Governorate.
- Your child was not born with unusual facial features or other physical differences (dysmorphic features).
- Your child was not born with major birth defects (congenital anomalies).
- Your child does not have other neurological problems like cerebral palsy, seizures, or brain damage from lack of oxygen at birth.

This study looks at chemicals in blood and breath to better understand metabolic conditions like epilepsy treated with a special diet, urea cycle disorders, and other inherited metabolic diseases. It may help improve diagnosis and monitoring.
This research study follows patients with methylmalonic acidemia (a rare metabolic disorder affecting how the body breaks down certain proteins) or cobalamin (vitamin B12) disorders to better understand how these conditions develop and progress over time. Researchers will collect medical information, blood samples, and eye exams to help improve future treatments.
This study uses a simple blood spot and urine test to look for chemical signs of rare metabolic diseases. It aims to improve early detection and understanding of these conditions across all ages, including healthy individuals.
This study looks at the types of skin problems that happen in children with inborn errors of immunity, which are genetic conditions that weaken the immune system. It may help doctors better understand and manage skin issues in these children.
This study looks at the nutrition, body composition, and diet of Filipino children with protein metabolism disorders. It aims to understand their current health to improve future care and treatment.
This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
