Inherited metabolic disorders in fetus
Inherited metabolic disorders in fetuses are caused by genetic mutations that cause the fetus to have abnormal metabolism, the process of making cellular energy and materials. These conditions can cause a range of severity in disease, but often involve difficulties growing and can sometimes cause miscarriage.
