  • Examination of children whose blood sample taken on the 3rd day of life shows abnormal findings
  • Investigations in children and adolescents with various symptoms to rule out/discover a possible metabolic disease as the cause
  • Treatment and long-term care of children with metabolic diseases (specific drug or dietary treatment)
