A metabolic disorder is a disorder that negatively alters the body's processing and distribution of macronutrients, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Metabolic disorders can happen when abnormal chemical reactions in the body alter the normal metabolic process.[3] It can also be defined as inherited single gene anomaly, most of which are autosomal recessive.[4]
