Global developmental delay (GDD) is a relatively common early-onset chronic
neurological condition, which may have prenatal, perinatal, postnatal, or
undetermined causes. Family history, physical and neurological examinations, and
detailed history of environmental risk factors might suggest a specific disease.
However, diagnostic laboratory tests, brain imaging, and other evidence-based
evaluations are necessary in most cases to elucidate the causes. Diagnosis of GDD
has recently improved because of remarkable advances in genetic technology, but
this is an exhaustive and expensive evaluation that may not lead to therapeutic
benefits in the majority of GDD patients. Inborn metabolic errors are one of the
main targets for the treatment of GDD, although only a small proportion of GDD
patients have this type of error. Nevertheless, diagnosis is often challenging
because the phenotypes of many genetic or metabolic diseases often overlap, and
their clinical spectra are much broader than currently known. Appropriate and
cost-effective strategies including up-to-date information for the early
identification of the "treatable" causes of GDD are needed for the development of
well-timed therapeutic applications with the potential to improve
neurodevelopmental outcomes.
