1 CATALYZING NEW THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES 4 TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON UREA CYCLE DISORDERS BARCELONA, SPAIN 1-2 SEPTEMBER 2013 INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE Satellite Symposium to the 12th International Congress on Inborn Errors of Metabolism

FROM THE ORGANIZERS On behalf of the Symposium Organizing Committee, the Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium, the European Registry and Network for Intoxication Type Metabolic Diseases, and the National

International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Barcelona, Spain. We are excited to be hosting this forth satellite meeting of its kind.

We are planning for even greater participation in 2013.

2 FROM THE ORGANIZERS On behalf of the Symposium Organizing Committee, the Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium, the European Registry and Network for Intoxication Type Metabolic Diseases, and the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation, we invite you to participate in the 4 th International Symposium on Urea Cycle Disorders to be held 1 2 September 2013 as a satellite meeting of the 12th International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Barcelona, Spain. We are excited to be hosting this forth satellite meeting of its kind. The first international satellite on urea cycle disorders was held in Vienna, Austria in 1997, the second in Brisbane, Australia in 2003, and the third in LaJolla (San Diego), U.S.A. in 2009 attracting more than 200 participants from around the world. We are planning for even greater participation in The proceedings of these meetings formed a foundation for improved understanding of urea cycle disorders, as well as a basis for advancing research. Our vision for this fourth satellite symposium is to continue the tradition, having it serve as a catalyst for innovative collaborations and to provide stimulation for focused research over the coming years leading to new therapeutic approaches. Trainees are welcome and encouraged to attend the symposium to expand their network of UCD experts, to supplement their training and to share their work with the UCD community. The symposium will open with a welcome reception on the evening of Sunday, 1 September giving participants time to review posters submitted by trainees, catch up with old friends and colleagues, and establish new relationships. We have an outstanding scientific program planned for Monday, 2 September to spotlight the most recent research findings in basic, translational and therapeutic investigations for urea cycle disorders. The day will be divided into four sessions: 1) pathophysiological insights suggesting novel therapeutic approaches, 2) early detection and new treatment principles, 3) natural history studies around the world with focus on differences, and 4) clinical themes and patient outcomes. Posters will be presented during the lunch break, giving trainees a chance to share with each other and with senior investigators and to receive feedback. We are planning to publish the proceedings in Molecular Genetics and Metabolism. We are delighted to be hosting the symposium in Barcelona and at the Caixa Forum, a former modernist textile warehouse and current art gallery and social and cultural center located in the Montjuic area of Barcelona. We hope that you will participate in this international effort to catalyze new therapeutic approaches for urea cycle disorder and to further research to save and improve the lives of affected children and adults who look to us for hope for the future. We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona. Marshall Summar, M.D. and Stefan Kölker, M.D. Symposium Co Chairs

9 ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS The 4 th International Symposium on Urea Cycle Disorders is organized jointly by the UCDC, E IMD and NUCDF The Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium (UCDC) was founded in 2003 as one of the original consortia of the NIHfunded Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network. The UCDC works to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by urea cycle disorders through research and education. The UCDC conducts a natural history, longitudinal study to develop a better understanding of UCD treatments and a deeper scientific understanding UCDs and UCD outcomes, including how UCDs cause brain damage and how to develop protection against this. The UCDC also conducts clinical trials of promising new drugs for the treatment of UCD. The Consortium constructs and maintain resources with significant information for clinicians, researchers, and patients and trains physicians to become experts in providing care for and treating those with UCD. The European Registry and Network for Intoxication Type Metabolic Disorders (E IMD) receives received funding from the European Union in the framework of the Health Programme. Its aim is to promote health for individuals affected with an organic aciduria (OAD) or with a urea cycle defect (UCD). The network has two major activities. The first is to establish a European patient registry and the second is to provide European evidence based consensus care protocols. The National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation (NUCDF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the identification, treatment and cure of urea cycle disorders. Committed to saving children and adults from the catastrophic effects of UCDs, NUCDF is a lifeline to families and medical professionals all over the world seeking crisis intervention, support and treatment information. The Foundation provides information to affected patients and families, promotes education for healthcare professionals on the identification, diagnosis and treatment of the disorder, stimulates and supports critical research, increases public awareness and educates legislators on the needs of UCD patients and families. NUCDF is dedicated to the development and support of multidisciplinary medical and clinical professionals, advocates, policymakers, industry and consumers working together to improve outcomes for persons affected with urea cycle disorders. ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS The International Congress on Inborn Errors of Metabolism (ICIEM) is held every three years and is designed to bring the best scientists and physicians dedicated to inborn errors from around the world together to discuss advances in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of this family of conditions. The sponsoring society s board of directors is made up of the heads of the various national and international organizations dedicated to inborn errors and the sites for the meeting rotate around the globe to maximize the opportunities for more junior colleagues to attend. This year s meeting is sponsored by the Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders.
