Abstract

Many childhood conditions are caused by gene mutations that encode specific proteins. These mutations can result in the alteration of primary protein structure or the amount of protein synthesized. The functional ability of protein, whether it is an enzyme, receptor, transport vehicle, membrane, or structural element, may be relatively or seriously compromised. These heriditary biochemical disorders are collectively termed inborn errors of metabolism (IBM). IBM can be correlated with Jatah pramehas. These metabolic errors in Dhatus due to deficiency of certain Dhathwagnis (enzymes) leads to an increase in poorvadhatu which remains in a incompletely metabolised state. Understanding and integration of modern and ayurvedic concepts of IBM made better management of IBM.

Keywords: In born error of metabolism (IBM), Jatah pramehas.
