Popis: In recent decades, the progressive development of medical genetics has led to significant advances in the diagnosis and therapy of hereditary pathology. As a result, the attitude of clinicians to hereditary diseases as to fatal and incurable, is gradually changing. Early dietary therapy of phenylketonuria and a number of other diseases provides full medical and social habilitation of children. Cofactor therapy, including a special vitamin therapy, is crucial in the treatment of enzymopathiessuch as: lack of biotinidase, homocystinuria, etc. Levocarnitine therapy shows high efficiency in a number of organic acidemias. A breakthrough in the treatment of lysosomal diseases should be considered the development of enzyme-substituting and substrate-reducing drugs. Further improvement of the effectiveness of hereditary diseases treatment seems to be associated with the introduction of gene therapy methods.
