Information and resources specific to patients with genetic disorders and their families are available on the website.

Patient Information and Resources

Metabolic Camp

The Annual Metabolic Camp at Emory University was developed by Rani H. Singh, PhD, RD, to provide a supportive environment for girls and women with PKU and MSUD. A holistic approach to managing these disorders is emphasized, with particular focus on nutrition, genetics, and overall well-being, to arrest the disease process and minimize the instances of miscarriages and severe birth defects that are high in this population.
