Title Change

It is pointless to use the outdated "Inborn error of metabolism" use either of the options presented at the end of the first paragraph.Grouphug (talk) 23:12, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Among basic research scientists and clinicians who deal with the conditions all three terms are in current use and considered interchangeable. I agree that current texts tend to prefer inherited metabolic diseases but I am not sure whether it would yet be the most likely search term a non-professional would use. Setting up redirects for the newer terms would be a good idea. Do you know how? alteripse (talk) 11:44, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Enzymopathy?

Enzymopathy redirects here. Is enzymopathy the same thing as any 'inborn error of metabolism'? Or does it refer to "The majority are due to defects of single genes that code for enzymes that facilitate conversion of various substances (substrates) into others (products)."? If so, why is it called Enzymopathy (if that's relevant)? I admittedly didn't read the whole article, but ctrl+fing through the article reveals (currently at least) exactly zero occurrences of the word. Can someone add a bit of redirect-clarity for the terminally clueless like me? :) -pinkgothic (talk) 12:06, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I came here with the same question. But I know that -pathy (from Ancient Greek πάθος, páthos, "suffering") refers to diseases of various kinds, so I suppose it refers to the "majority" you mention above. 109.157.79.50 (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to explain Enzymology and how that relates to enzymopathy. Usaapcwiki (talk) 16:44, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Practical approach

doi:10.1136/jcp.2009.067884 seems useful. JFW | T@lk 22:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TL;DR

Can we dumb this down a little or a lot? Carbonara4 (talk) 12:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we can. Good point. I was trying to explain and correlate enzymology to Enzymopathy. Usaapcwiki (talk) 16:49, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let me work on it. Thanks again. Usaapcwiki (talk) 16:50, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
