Genetic disorders are diseases caused by abnormalities in the genes or chromosomes. One large class of genetic disorders is metabolic disorders, also called the ‘inborn errors of metabolism’, when a single defective gene effects the production and functioning of enzymes.

My son (now age 18) was diagnosed with Aspergers and ADHD a couple years ago. Ritalin (Metadate) (40 mg/day) has made a huge difference in all aspects of his life. And the effects do not seem to wear off over the course of the day. Is there any way to get in touch with the scientists who performed this research?

Best wishes.
