Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

These are congenital metabolic disabilities that infants may be born with. They prevent the normal metabolism of specific nutrients. This type of disability is caused by mutations in the genes. These disabilities may cause death at an early age, risk damage to the central nervous system, intellectually disabled, or retarded growth. Early diagnosis of these inborn errors, combined with diet therapy, increases the chances of preventing retardation. Hospitals test newborns for some of these disorders as a matter of course.
