Prenatal diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism.

More than 50 inborn errors of metabolism can be diagnosed in the fetus. This is accomplished by evaluation of constituents of the cell free amniotic fluid or of cultured or uncultured amniotic fluid cells. Only those syndromes with specific abnormal contributions to amniotic fluid can be so diagnosed. Currently diagnosable diseases and their assay methods are reviewed. Such assay methods must be able to differentiate the unaffected heterozygote from the affected homozygote.

Clinical proteomics in inborn errors of metabolism: from biomarker discovery to implementation.

INTRODUCTION: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are rare, heterogeneous disorders traditionally diagnosed through genetic testing, enzyme assays, and metabolite measurements. However, these tools often do not fully explain phenotypic variability, organ involvement, disease progression, or treatment response. Clinical proteomics provides a complementary functional layer by capturing changes in protein abundance, proteoforms, post-translational modifications (PTM), and biological pathways, offering insights beyond genotype- and metabolite-based approaches. AREAS COVERED: This review examines the role of high-resolution mass spectrometry and computational proteomics in biomarker discovery and clinical decision-making for IEMs. It focuses on their contribution to diagnosis, variant interpretation, patient stratification, and treatment monitoring. Disease-specific applications are discussed, with the strongest evidence in lysosomal storage disorders, mitochondrial diseases, congenital disorders of glycosylation, and selected neurodegenerative or renal metabolic conditions. The literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, covering peer-reviewed articles available up to 2026, with emphasis on methodological advances and translational applications in clinical proteomics for IEMs. EXPERT OPINION: Proteomics will not replace established diagnostic tools, but it can help address clinically actionable questions in selected contexts. Translation into clinical practice will require standardized workflows, multicenter validation, clinically anchored endpoints, and integration with other omics approaches.
