GoodRx Guide

Inherited Metabolic Diseases

Comprehensive information for you or a loved one — including treatment options and discounts on popular medications.

Inherited metabolic diseases are genetic conditions that affect the ability of enzymes in your body to convert various substances into others. In most metabolic disorders, health problems are due to a build up of toxic substances, or a reduced ability to make compounds your body needs to function.

Changes to your diet can help, as can replacement of enzymes in some cases. Gene therapy and bone marrow or organ transplant may also be recommended.
