What are infants metabolic errors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absent information: The infants dna should bring a library full of instructions on how to build the tools that make the metabolism work. The babies system uses the library to continuously replenish enzymes & other products that keep the metabolism working.When a mistake in the dna codes things wrong, the system cannot make the proper tools & problems show up. There are hundreds of recognized metabolic errors.
