Excerpt:"The pediatric neurotransmitter disorders
are a fairly recently described group of inherited neurometabolic
disorders related to defects in neurotransmitter synthesis or breakdown. These
disorders may be divided into defects of 
-aminobutyric
acid (GABA), glycine or monoamine metabolism, and secondary neurotransmitter deficiency
states. This chapter will primarily discuss disorders of monoamine
metabolism; we will focus on the diseases best characterized to
date, including GTP cyclohydrolase deficiency, tyrosine hydroxylase
deficiency, aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency,
and monoamine A deficiency...."
