DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Sixth International Myotonic Dystrophy Consortium (IDMC) will bring together the entire spectrum of researchers, clinicians, other care providers, patients and family members to discuss current research discoveries, new therapeutic approaches, and optimal clinical care for myotonic dystrophy. In addition to focusing upon the most recent scientific advances in these areas, the goals of the meeting include: 1) To enhance the open exchange of the information related to basic and clinical research in myotonic dystrophy; 2) To stimulate the initiation of collaborative research between investigators worldwide, to improve the understanding of the fundamental pathomechanism, to develop optimal translational research strategies, and to identify high priority areas for new therapies; 3) To provide junior investigators with an opportunity to present their work and to interact with more established researchers and clinicians in the field, and to encourage patients and their advocates to meet with these young and senior investigators to discuss their common interests and concerns about myotonic dystrophy. This meeting has an established record of sharing new information, stimulating scientific exchange, and forming collaborations, as well as providing a unique environment that integrates researchers, clinicians, and patients in an extended conversation about the significance of research especially as it pertains to patients and future treatments. This meeting is an excellent venue for encouraging the training of young scientists (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and PIs). The IDMC is the premier meeting for a comprehensive, broad-based discussion of cutting edge advances in the field. Discoveries of the gene defects and identification of molecular pathomechanisms responsible for specific disease manifestations have created new opportunities to develop effective therapies for this relentlessly progressive group of diseases.

描述(由申请者提供)：第六届国际强直性肌营养不良联盟(IDMC)将汇集研究人员、临床医生、其他护理提供者、患者和家庭成员，讨论目前的研究发现、新的治疗方法和强直性肌营养不良的最佳临床护理。除了关注这些领域的最新科学进展，会议的目标还包括：1)加强与强直性肌营养不良基础和临床研究相关的信息的开放交流；2)促进世界各地研究人员之间发起合作研究，提高对基本发病机制的了解，开发最佳翻译研究策略，并确定新疗法的优先领域；3)为初级研究人员提供一个机会，介绍他们的工作，并与该领域更有地位的研究人员和临床医生进行互动，并鼓励患者和他们的倡导者与这些年轻的和资深的研究人员会面，讨论他们对强直性肌营养不良的共同兴趣和担忧。这次会议有着分享新信息、促进科学交流和形成合作的既定记录，并提供了一个独特的环境，将研究人员、临床医生和患者整合在一起，就研究的重要性展开广泛的对话，特别是与患者和未来治疗相关的研究。这次会议是鼓励对青年科学家(研究生、博士后研究员和个人投资)进行培训的绝佳场所。IDMC是对该领域前沿进展进行全面、广泛讨论的首要会议。对基因缺陷的发现和对导致特定疾病表现的分子病理机制的识别，为开发针对这一不断进步的疾病的有效疗法创造了新的机会。
