We are a 501c3 non-profit organization made up of parents of children with organic acidemia metabolic disorders. Organic Acidemias are a group of inheritable genetic metabolic disorders in which there is a defect in protein metabolism where an essential enzyme is absent or malfunctioning.
Our mission is to empower families and health care professionals with knowledge in these disorders. We support early intervention through expanded newborn screening, solicit contributions, and distribute funding that supports research toward improved treatment, and eventual cures in the areas of Organic Acid disorders.
Discover real stories from families navigating organic acidemias. Browse by disorder, learn from shared experiences, and connect with our community.
Explore detailed information on each organic acidemia, including symptoms, research updates, and educational resources for families and clinicians.
Be part of groundbreaking research by joining the Global Registry. Your participation helps advance understanding, improve care, and shape the future of treatment.
"The Organic Acidemia Association has been such a wonderful community for our family. When my son was first diagnosed with MMA, we were looking for more information, and the OAA provided us with access to resources and the ability to connect with other families that were in similar situations."
