Abstract
Genetic screening has broadened the spectrum of disease open to early medical intervention and it has also led to an increase in the cumulative number of patients who require treatment at any given time. In the following discussion, we will consider, first, some essential resources for treatment of the patient; we will then consider some desirable resources to support the treating agent who may be a physician, a nutritionist, a team at a genetics centre, or otherwise. Although the two types of resource are interdependent, they are not the same and they deserve independent development and consideration. We will confine our comments to the inborn errors of amino acid metabolism, but the principles are applicable to other forms of hereditary metabolic disease.
