BEYOND THE USUAL SUSPECTS: REVIEW ON EXPLORING RARE, EMERGING AND ENVIRONMENTALLY INFLUENCED METABOLIC DISORDERS

This review highlights the multifaceted landscape of metabolic disorders, focusing on often overlooked or understudied conditions. These disorders were categorized based on potential etiology, including rare inherited, disorders of unknown origin, emerging conditions and those influenced by other diseases, environmental factors, or immune dysfunction. Additionally, we explore the impact of personalized metabolic variations and the intricate relationship between metabolism and mental health. By exploring specific examples such as maple syrup urine disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, bile acid malabsorption and mitochondrial disorders, we emphasize the diverse spectrum of metabolic challenges. This overview underscores the need for continued research to unravel the complexities of these conditions, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention strategies. This is an interesting area for pharmaceutical field that need attention and extensive research to find promising treatments for the underestimated populations impacted by these diseases.
