Advancing Research and Care: Propionic Acidemia Conference 

On July 11–12, 2025, the Propionic Acidemia Foundation hosted a conference dedicated to advancing research and expanding care possibilities for individuals living with propionic acidemia. The conference welcomed 121 attendees from 12 states and 2 countries, creating a unique space where researchers, healthcare professionals, and families affected by this rare metabolic disorder could connect. The meeting fostered collaboration, shared groundbreaking research, and explored innovative treatments that may transform lives.

The weekend began on Friday evening with a casual dinner from a local food truck, offering families a chance to meet and build connections. Saturday offered a dynamic program of educational presentations, sponsor exhibits, and opportunities for families to contribute to important research initiatives. Dr. Chowdhury’s team generously provided 23 echocardiograms, EKGs, and 17 genetic tests free of charge, ensuring families had access to critical screenings. The Plain Community invited families to participate in a survey conducted by MPHI, while Rare Patient Voice provided an opportunity to register for future research participation. Videos are available on the Propionic Acidemia Foundation YouTube station.

We are enormously thankful to everyone who participated, contributed, and supported this meaningful gathering. Together, we remain committed to advancing research, improving care, and fostering hope for the PA community.

We are deeply grateful to our Gold Sponsors: Moderna and Alltrna, and Bronze Sponsors: Nutricia and Rare Patient Voice, whose generous support made this event possible.
