About Mississippi Metabolics Foundation

Hi, I am Shannah, mom to Emmalyn, who has a rare genetic metabolic disorder, Glutaric Aciduria/Acidemia Type 1. Mississippi Metabolics Foundation's (MMF) was founded with the primary mission to raise awareness, educate, and provide support to those living or caring for someone with genetic metabolic disorders/Inborn Errors of Metabolism. We advocate for the continued expansion and implementation of Newborn Screening Programs and access to available resources for caregivers/patients. MMF promotes and supports further advancements in research, studies, and treatments for Metabolic Disorders/IEM. We are increasing the community involvement in MS for rare genetic Metabolic Disorders and helping families navigate their rare disease journey.
