Propionic Acidemia Research Network :: PARnet Uniting Academics and Medicine to Find a Cure Brochures & Publications Propionic Acidemia Research Network :: is to facilitate communication between the research community, physicians and educators, in order to advance the development of better treatments and a cure for PA. Propionic acidemia affects patients and families in often devastating ways, physically, financially and emotionally.

| Description: | Propionic acidemia is an inborn error of metabolism affecting approximately 1/50,000 newborns in the United States annually. Gene therapy research is being conducted at two major US institutions to provide better treatments and ultimatly a cure for this disorder. PA individuals cannot metabolize methionine, threonine, isoleucine and valine correctly. Current treatment consists of adhering to a rigorous low-protein diet and biotin and carnitine supplementation. |
