Hey guys
In your experience is there a lot of emphasis on rare syndromes and enzyme deficiencies? is it worth spending time to memorise these?

In my exam, there are only few syndrome and enzyme def. asked( not more than 5). Syndromes and Enzyme def. emphasized in kaplan and UW I think is more then enough

I had few questions about that, But only relatively common syndromes from UW. NOt the very rare things.
