Abstract |
A Database for Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) in the Indian State of Andhra Pradesh (DIEMISAP), is a continuously updated literature depository containing the extensive information on the regional prevalence and heterogeneity of Inborn Errors of metabolism. We report the construction of a database, a flat file and secondary data resource developed using Microsoft Front Page as the core engine. The database contains 18 summaries regarding 43 IEM disorders reported in the AP population, both in general and region wise, with references and links to the IEM disorder databases available on web and institutes involved in IEM research, in India. Summaries can be accessed from the reference given against an alphabetically arranged list of IEM disorders. The DIEMISAP is a useful user friendly and extendable online resource for information on prevalence of IEM in AP.
