项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Second Ataxia Investigators' Meeting will focus on the multi-disciplinary nature of ataxia research by assembling an international roster of clinical investigators, diagnosticians, pathologists, geneticists and molecular biologists. In addition to focusing on the most recent scientific advances, the goals of the meeting include: 1) To enhance the open exchange of information related to ataxia research; 2) To stimulate the initiation of collaborative research between investigators worldwide; 3) to improve the understanding of human diseases related to ataxia and establish international protocols for the common investigation and storage of data related to ataxia and its treatment; 4) To provide junior investigators with an opportunity to present their work interact with more established scientists in the field, and to provide them with the opportunity to interact with patients and support groups so that they can see the clinical impact and importance of their work. This meeting has been an important stepping stone for collaboration and discussion on ataxia research and therapeutic approaches, and is of great importance now that the field is at the brink of meaningful clinical trials. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: the Second Ataxia Investigators' Meeting will focus on the most recent advances in ataxia research, and therapeutic approaches for ataxic disorders. Ataxia, which is defined as the loss of motor control, can affect all aspects of human movement - gait, dexterity, speech, swallowing, eye movements and more - and afflicts approximately 1 in every 2000 individuals worldwide. An expanding genetic understanding of ataxias over the last 15 years has recently led investigators to propose several possible therapeutic approaches, which demand an increase in international communication, collaboration, and standardization of research and clinical methods, all of which will be specifically addressed at the 2nd Ataxia Investigators' Meeting. This meeting will also provide a forum for recruiting new investigators to this field of biomedical research, which is an essential element for achieving the rapid success that appears increasingly possible for treating these diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：第二届共济失调研究者会议将通过汇集临床研究者、诊断专家、病理学家、遗传学家和分子生物学家的国际名册，重点关注共济失调研究的多学科性质。除了关注最新的科学进展外，会议的目标还包括：1）加强与共济失调研究相关的信息的公开交流; 2）促进世界各地研究人员之间的合作研究;第三章提高对与共济失调相关的人类疾病的认识，并建立共同调查和储存与共济失调及其相关的数据的国际协议，治疗; 4）为初级研究人员提供与该领域更成熟的科学家互动的机会，并为他们提供与患者和支持团体互动的机会，使他们能够看到他们工作的临床影响和重要性。这次会议是共济失调研究和治疗方法合作和讨论的重要垫脚石，现在该领域正处于有意义的临床试验的边缘，因此非常重要。公共卫生关系：第二届共济失调研究者会议将集中讨论共济失调研究的最新进展，以及共济失调疾病的治疗方法。共济失调被定义为运动控制的丧失，可以影响人类运动的各个方面-步态，灵活性，言语，吞咽，眼球运动等-并且在全球范围内每2000人中约有1人受到影响。在过去的15年里，对共济失调的遗传学理解不断扩大，最近导致研究人员提出了几种可能的治疗方法，这些方法需要增加国际交流，合作以及研究和临床方法的标准化，所有这些都将在第二届共济失调研究者会议上特别讨论。这次会议还将提供一个论坛，为这一生物医学研究领域招募新的研究人员，这是取得迅速成功的一个基本要素，治疗这些疾病似乎越来越有可能。
