Footnotes

  • PROP = Propionic acidemia
  • This defect in the processing of four essential amino acids leads to illness during the newborn period. Without treatment, brain damage, coma and death can result. Even with treatment, including a low-protein diet and nutritional supplements, some affected children suffer from developmental delays, seizures, abnormal muscle tone, frequent infections and heart problems.
