Many genetic disorders are exceedingly rare. The Division of Genetics organizes events and sponsors support groups to help patients with the rarest metabolic disorders.
- An annual picnic is held for metabolic disorders patients featuring a recipe exchange and dishes appropriate to the metabolic patient's diet.
- We also sponsor a support group for families of patients with inborn errors of metabolism, formed in 1996. For information about this group, click here.
