Abstract

Inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism can be classified according to the underlying enzyme defect in the following groups:

  1. 1.

    Defects of glycogen degradation (which underlie the glycogen storage diseases)

  2. 2.

    Defects of galactose metabolism

  3. 3.

    Defects of fructose metabolism

  4. 4.

    Defects of pyruvate metabolism

  5. 5.

    Defects of gluconeogenesis
