Abstract
Metals are indispensable elements of cell biology.They function as cofactors for many specific proteins and are involved in all major metabolic pathways. The number of recognised IEM involving the absorption, transport,or metabolism of metals is rapidly growing. Clinical presentations can involve all organs and systems including the liver and the central nervous system.
