Helping those with genetic conditions


Genetic Alliance UK is the national charity of over 150 patient organisations supporting all those affected by genetic conditions.
Our aim is to improve the lives of people affected by genetic conditions by ensuring that high quality services and information are available to all who need them.

Our Mission

Our mission has three main elements:

  • Supporting:
    We seek to raise awareness of genetic conditions and improve the quality of services and information available to patients and families.
  • Campaigning:
    We actively campaign on behalf of those with genetic conditions on issues of policy and practice to influence governments, policy makers, industry and care providers such as the National Health Service.
  • Uniting:
    We provide a united voice for all those affected by genetic conditions, enabling us to work together towards a common goal of making life better for patients and families at risk.
