International Genetic Alliance

IGA is an alliance of continental and regional alliances of parent and patient organisations and of international disease specific groups, all having an involvement in the opportunities and implications of genetics and medical 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 scientific groups, industry and policymakers in achieving its goals.
