Description

Welcome to the SSIEM 2024 congress review!

The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) took place in Porto, Portugal, from 3rd–6th September 2024.

The meeting brought together leading experts to share expertise, learn from others, and contribute to the collective mission of improving the lives of those affected with inborn errors in metabolism (IEM).

As the field of phenylketonuria (PKU) management evolves, addressing the unmet needs of patients remains a critical focus. Despite advances in treatment options, many individuals with PKU continue to face difficulties with dietary adherence and maintaining optimal Phe levels. By highlighting recent developments and ongoing research, this congress review emphasises the importance of innovative solutions in bridging these gaps and enhancing the overall quality of treatments for PKU patients.

In this congress review, we have selected relevant presentations, symposia, abstracts, and posters with a focus on pegvaliase and sapropterin dihydrochloride treatment, diet, and protein sources, and other therapeutic approaches in PKU.

We hope that this congress review proves beneficial to you, offering insights into how the PKU community can contribute to addressing global challenges in PKU.
