This site, though still under construction and in a provisional stage, is an entrance to a wealth of information thanks to our membership and networks. Moreover it is a meeting place for patient organisations involved in chronic and debilitating diseases and with an interest in genetics and biotechnology.

IGA is an alliance of continental and regional alliances of parent and patient organisations with an involvement in the opportunities and implications of genetics and biotechnology regarding its potential for prevention and treatment of serious diseases.

IGA works for a world in which genetic diseases and acquired birth disorders are understood, prevented and cured and those affected supported. IGA aims at voicing the interests of patient organisations on the global level.

IGA values collaboration with science, industry, financiers and policymakers in achieving its goals. You are welcome to join our efforts .

IGA acknowledges support of the King Baudouin Foundation in Belgium for facilitating the establishment of the International Genetic Alliance.
