This is a unique opportunity to gather and engage rare disease advocates and leaders in the same space for conversation. \nEach year\, Global Genes convenes one of the world’s largest gatherings of rare disease patients\, caregivers\, advocates\, healthcare professionals\, researchers\, partners\, and allies at the RARE Advocacy Summit to work together to build a path to hope. This is an unparalleled opportunity for advocates\, whether new or veteran\, to forge meaningful connections with others in the rare disease community for future collaboration. Sessions provide attendees\, with insights about the latest in rare disease innovations\, best practices for advocating on an individual and organizational level\, and actionable strategies they can take home and implement immediately to improve care and accelerate change. \nThe RARE Health Equity Forum is the first one-of-a-kind event focused on the intersection of rare disease and health equity with an agenda built around creating systemic and organizational change. The conference was developed to better understand the persistent gaps that exist in the rare disease community for underrepresented and/or marginalized patient populations\, including those who are still seeking a diagnosis or are unaffiliated with a disease-specific foundation. \nThis year\, the Summit will be held in Kansas City\, Missouri.

SUMMARY:EURO-NMD Gene Therapy Webinar Series - Genetic therapies and therapy developments for rare movement disorders
DESCRIPTION:Willeke van Roon-Mom is a full professor of Human Genetics\, in particular of translational studies of neurodegenerative disorders. Her work is highly translational in nature\, working in close collaboration with clinical departments and industry. Unique patient-driven fund raising initiatives contribute not only financial input\, but also patient perspective to research programs in her group. The main topic of her research is autosomal dominant neurodegenerative diseases that have aberrant protein aggregation as a pathological hallmark. She studies molecular disease mechanisms\, identifies biomarkers and then uses this knowledge to develop novel therapies with a focus on RNA targeting antisense oligonucleotide therapies. She is the co-founder and co-lead of the Dutch Center for RNA Therapeutics that aims to develop RNA targeting therapies for patients with ultra-rare mutations.

SUMMARY:Living with Rare Neuroimmune Conditions: Patient Views & Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join Sumaira Ahmed\, NMOSD patient and founder of The Sumaira Foundation\, for a panel discussion featuring five patients living with rare neuroimmune conditions. Patient perspectives and lived experiences are essential to guiding R&D efforts and generating real-world evidence for therapeutic advances. This is especially true for rare diseases such as NMOSD\, MOGAD\, autoimmune encephalitis and stiff person syndrome. Yet far too often\, the voices of patients are overlooked\, marginalized or excluded. This is an opportunity to hear directly from a diverse group of patients living with these disorders who are also actively advocating for their communities. Sponsored by The Sumaira Foundation.
