Organic Acidaemias UK is a small group formed in 1984 covering a variety of related, but rare, conditions. Organic acidaemias are a group of inherited disorders in which there is a defect in protein metabolism. Each organic acidaemia is a consequence of a different enzyme defect that results in difficulty in metabolising different groups of amino acids. The main conditions covered by Organic Acidaemias UK are as follows.
- Methylmalonic acidaemia
- Propionic acidaemia
- Gluteric acidaemia.
- Argininosuccinic acidaemia
- Hydroxymethylgluteric acidaemia.
- Ethyl-malonic-adipic aciduria
The group aims to provide support to parents who have children with one of these disorders by linking parents with others and by the publication of a regular newsletter and occasional pamphlets of topical interest. Membership is free to parents, others are asked to pay a small, once-only contribution towards costs.
To find out more, please contact the address or telephone number above or visit the website. Individuals may wish to become members, or may simply wish to be put into contact with other families in a similar situation. Any information sent to the group will remain confidential unless advised otherwise.
