Summary of achievements
The rarity of patients and the high phenotypic heterogeneity of RD combined with the lack of knowledge, information and
training about these diseases result in frequent delays in correct diagnosis and installation of appropriate care and treatment,
if available. This impacts survival and quality of life.
The mission of the Orphan Europe Academy education in rare diseases is to promote the accurate diagnosis and management
of patients affected by a rare disease by increasing knowledge, information and training. These courses were developed in
collaboration with E-IMD partners.
Over the period 2011 -2014 six specific courses addressing paediatric, adolescent and adult intoxication type metabolic
diseases were organised.
Overall 176 trainees participated and 83 speakers contributed to live courses and over 100 trainees followed the e-
learning course to further understanding of these rare intoxication type metabolic diseases. All courses were externally
evaluated by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to provide CME activities
for medical specialists. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS),
www.uems.net.
1. Neurological manifestations of metabolic disorders from paediatrics
to adults
1.1. Description
This course was designed for paediatricians, neurologists and internists wanting to complete their knowledge on the neurological aspects of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Most IEM involve the nervous system. Neurological complications often constitute the clinical presentation in both paediatric and adult onset forms or they may develop later during follow up. However despite the frequent occurrence in IEM the diagnosis and management are complex because:
The characteristics of rare disorders: limited number of patients with many different diseases, scarcity of knowledge and expertise; means that very few neurologists or neuropaediatricians are familiar with all the differential diagnoses.
Adult and children phenotypes can be very different and the clinical approach should be adapted. Recognising
4
IEM is particularly difficult in mild late onset forms.
In many centres, neuropaediatricians are asked to give advice on IEM in adults. Whilst adult neurologists and internists are frequently treating adult patients who presented with their first clinical symptoms in childhood but in whom the correct diagnosis was missed.
Therefore, the aim of this course was to bring together paediatricians, internists and neurologists to give a complete picture of all neurological manifestations or complications in IEM. This was achieved by bringing together over twenty experts presenting disorders from both a paediatric and adult medicine perspective. The course was interactive and participants were asked to present a short case study to illustrate a particular diagnostic or clinical management problem. Small groups worked together in workshops and a specific session was dedicated to unresolved cases.
The course was designated for a maximum of 18 European CME credits by the European Accreditation Council for
Continuing Medical Education (EACCME).

2. E-learning hyperammonemia module
2.1. Course description
Hyperammonemia is associated with a number of inherited disorders. If not recognised and treated urgently it
causes severe permanent damage to the central nervous system. In order to provide optimal care for patients,
it is essential that health professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of inherited metabolic
disease have a thorough understanding of this condition. The purpose of this e-learning is to ensure an
appropriate level of knowledge for those training in this area of medicine.
This is the first of a series of online learning modules which aims to provide physicians world-wide with
clinically useful and most up-to-date information concerning the current knowledge and the management
strategies of hyperammonemia. This project is designed for pediatricians, neurologists and allied health
professionals who manage, treat or refer patients in this field.
Practitioners will benefit from our interactive e-learning module and be able to test their knowledge, read case
studies and enhance their overall understanding of hyperammonemia.
The experience will include:
working through clinical scenarios to make the experience interactive; questions can only be
satisfactorily answered by reference to the literature or text books to obtain all the information
required
downloadable .pdf written halfway between the formality of a book and the informality of a
seminar to make them user-friendly and accessible
assessments and end of module assessment carrying EACCME credit
course specific webpages with electronic versions of study materials
online forums for networking with fellow students and tutors
The learner should expect that it takes about ten hours to complete the hyperammonemia module. H/she can
study anytime over a recommended period of 6 months, extendable to one year
To be included after accreditation evaluation The “E-learning course in hyperammonemia” is accredited by the
European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to provide this CME activity for
medical specialists. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS),
www.uems.net. Each of the three modules is designated for a maximum of 3 European CME credits (9 CME
credits for the total course). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she
actually spent in the educational activity. EACCME credits are recognised by the American Medical Association
towards the Physician's Recognition Award (PRA). To convert EACCME credit to AMA PRA category 1 credit,
contact the AMA.

3. 1st Advanced Meeting on metabolic and genetic disorders
affecting the Liver , Rome Italy, 28-30 March 2012
3.1. Course description
This expert meeting is a high-level course on inherited metabolic and other genetic disorders affecting the liver.
The meeting is organized on behalf of the Orphan Europe Academy and is intended for paediatric and adult
hepatologists, hepatic surgeons and metabolic specialists and will be held in Rome, in collaboration with the
Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital.
The aim of the meeting is to share experience in the management and outcome of these rare disorders where
individual experience is by their nature limited. Participants are asked to bring cases for discussion during the
workshops
Each workshop will be introduced with a brief 15 minutes overview from the co-chairs of the particular workshop;
whilst the majority of time will be dedicated to free communications and general discussion to share experience
and knowledge between participants.
It is our aim to produce a summary of recommendations of each session a short time after the meeting.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. to gain further knowledge of the clinical presentations, investigations required for diagnosis, and the management of genetic disorders affecting the liver
2. to gain a more detailed understanding of the outcome of these disorders and the efficacy of various
treatment options
3. to discuss the most recent developments within this field

4. Inherited metabolic diseases for the internist, Amsterdam, 6 -8
June 2012
4.1. Course description
An increasing number of patients with inborn errors of metabolism are now being seen as adults, either
because, with improved paediatric management, they have survived childhood and adolescence, or because it
is increasingly recognised that these conditions can present in adulthood. IEMs can lead to neurological,
cardiac, renal, haematological or skeletal problems that may bring these patients to the attention of the
internist. Many of these patients suffer from delays in diagnosis and, even when the diagnosis is already
known, in instituting appropriate treatment. This course is designed to give an overview of the clinical
features, diagnosis and treatment of adults with IEMs in order to improve their recognition and management
in the internal medical setting.
The course is run by experienced metabolic physicians. There will be 20 speakers, including physicians,
paediatricians and biochemists and a maximum of 50 participants. The course is aimed at internists with an
interest in inborn errors of metabolism, but not necessary with extensive clinical experience. General
overviews of when to suspect an inborn error of metabolism in adults and management of relatively frequent
disorders are covered. In addition, laboratory workshops and clinical workshops are provided, as well as many
clinical case discussions throughout the program.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
to understand the spectrum of inborn errors of metabolism in adults,
to improve awareness and become up-to-date with diagnostic and treatment strategies. When applying to
the course, participants are strongly encouraged to submit a case study from their own experience.-

5. European inborn errors of metabolism general course, Warsaw,
Poland 25-29 September 2012
5.1. Course description
Inborn Errors of metabolism are the 2nd most common category of rare disorders. In order to provide optimal
care for patients, it is essential that health professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of
inherited metabolic disease have a thorough understanding of these conditions. The purpose of this course is
to ensure an appropriate level of knowledge for those training in this area of medicine.
This course is designed primarily for paediatricians, physicians, and laboratory scientists wishing to increase
their knowledge in the area of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), but is also suitable for specialist dietitians
and nurses. The broad spectrum of inborn metabolic diseases affecting the metabolism of carbohydrates and
glycoproteins, amino, organic and nucleic acids, neurotransmitters, mitochondrial, lysosomal, peroxisomal and
endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi disorders, will be covered by local and international experts.
The programme will be broken down into plenary lectures and smaller groups for the ‘meet the clinical expert
sessions’ and workshops.
The course will be interactive and participants are asked to submit a short case study to illustrate a particular
diagnostic or clinical management problem.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
To have a basic understanding of human biochemistry and the adverse effects caused by genetic
disorders affecting key metabolic pathways.
To be aware of the different clinical presentations that occur in IEMs
To appreciate the different analytical techniques used in the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism
and to know which investigations should be used in order to reach a correct diagnosis
To know which disorders are amenable to treatment and consequently require immediate
consideration.
To know the principals and practicalities of the emergency management of IEM.
To appreciate and understand the long term management of IEMs including the dietary management
of patients with amino acids and carbohydrate metabolism disorders, organic acidurias, urea cycle
defects and fatty acid oxidation defects.

Invite translators so that experts can fully transmit their knowledge.
Congratulations to the organisers and the lecturers!!
Hand out paper form of the slides in addition to the USB sticks. Hand out list of recommended readings, maybe even

6. Behavioural and psychiatric aspects of inborn errors of
metabolism, Paris, France, 23 -24 May 2013
6.1. Course description
A number of patients with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) may present with psychiatric disorders. These may manifest as behavioural disorders in patients with previous developmental delay or as adolescent or adult-onset manifestations such as atypical schizophrenia, depression or cognitive decline. Many IEM are treatable and treatments should be started early to prevent irreversible neurological lesions; therefore it is important to recognise atypical situations in which an IEM should be suspected. This course is designed to give an overview of the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of behavioural and psychiatric disorders of IEMs in order to improve their recognition and management. The course is run by experienced metabolic and psychiatric experts. There will be a maximum of 35 participants plus faculty. The course is aimed at adult psychiatrists, child psychiatrists, neurologists, neuropaediatricians, metabolic specialists and paediatricians.
