A rare genetic, haemorrhagic disorder characterised by easy bruising (without haemarthrosis or spontaneous haematomas), epistaxis, bleeding gums and excessive bleeding after minor trauma or surgical procedures. Severity of bleeding is variable, and blood transfusion may be required. Affected females may have menorrhagia.

A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by abnormal accumulation of plasma cystathionine and subsequent increased urinary excretion due to cystathionine gamma-lyase deficiency. The condition is considered benign without pathological relevance. Mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by cabbage-like breath odour with high levels of methanethiol and dimethylsulfide in oral and nasal breath, due to methanethiol oxidase deficiency. Laboratory examination shows elevated levels of dimethylsulfide, dimethylsulfoxide, and dimethylsulfone in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by congenital asplenia and childhood or adolescent onset of generalised inflammation, persistent intravascular haemolysis and anaemia, severe endothelial injury with abnormal coagulation, bleeding diathesis, and nephropathy. Additional reported manifestations include growth retardation, mild facial dysmorphism, and hepatomegaly. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by congenital hypertryptophanaemia and hyperserotonaemia. Patients are typically asymptomatic, although developmental delay, intellectual disability, and behavioural abnormalities, among others, have been reported in association. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by increased serum phenylalanine, associated with variable neurological symptoms ranging from mild autistic features or hyperactivity to severe intellectual disability, dystonia, and parkinsonism. Laboratory analyses show normal tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) metabolism and low levels of the CSF monoamine neurotransmitter metabolites homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by infantile onset of global developmental delay, severe intellectual disability, seizures, and movement disorder (including tremor, hyperkinesia, and myoclonus), associated with excessive excretion of hydroxylysine in urine. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1970. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by low serum carnosinase activity, persistent carnosinuria, and carnosinaemia. The clinical phenotype is highly variable, with some patients remaining asymptomatic, while others have been reported to show severe developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, seizures, and other neurological signs and symptoms. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by massive accumulation of triglycerides in the myocardium and coronary arteries, while plasma triglyceride levels are normal. Patients present in adulthood with signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease and severe heart failure. Concomitant skeletal myopathy is common. Vacuole formation in polymorphonuclear leucocytes is typically observed. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by severe neonatal encephalopathy with EEG abnormalities, increased serum lactate, little or no psychomotor development, and sometimes death in infancy. Brain imaging may show cortical atrophy, enlarged ventricles, delayed myelination, and white matter abnormalities, among others. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by the presence of large amounts of trimethylamine in urine, sweat, and breath, resulting in a fishy body odour in affected individuals. While there are no additional signs and symptoms, the condition can have profound psychosocial consequences. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism characterised by variable combinations of non-spherocytic haemolytic anaemia, myopathy, and various central nervous system abnormalities. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism comprising 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency, 3-phosphoserine phosphatase deficiency, and phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency, and characterised by a phenotypic spectrum ranging from congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and intractable seizures in the infantile forms to milder juvenile forms with moderate developmental delay and intellectual disability. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism disorder, with a highly variable phenotype, typically characterised by neonatal to infancy-onset of seizures, psychomotor delay, and abnormal muscle tone that may include hypo- and/or hypertonia, resulting in generalised weakness, dystonic movements, and/or progressive respiratory distress, associated with severe lactic acidosis and elevated lactate, ketoglutarate and 2-oxoacids in urine. Additional manifestations may include dehydration, vomiting, signs of liver dysfunction, extrapyramidal signs, spastic tetraparesis, brisk deep tendon reflexes, speech impairment, swallowing difficulties, and pulmonary hypertension. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare inborn error of metabolism with characteristics of elevation of malonic acid (MA) and methylmalonic acid (MMA) in body fluids, with higher levels of MMA than MA. The disease presents in childhood with metabolic acidosis, developmental delay, dystonia and failure to thrive or in adulthood with seizures, memory loss and cognitive decline. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
