Swiss Group for Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) form a large class of genetic diseases. In most of the disorders, problems arise due to accumulation of substances which are toxic or interfere with normal function, or to the effects of reduced ability to synthesize essential compounds.

The Swiss Group for Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SGIEM) networks professionals involved in the diagnosis and clinical follow-up of patients in whom an innate metabolic error (ADR) is suspected or proven. Our professional association includes physicians, dieticians, biochemists, biologists, psychologists, geneticists… working directly with patients and/or active in ADR research.

The SSIEM 2019 Symposium will be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from September 3 to September 6, at the De Doelen, a city-centre, state-of-the-art venue for conferences and concerts.
