The 9th annual Lafora science symposium: a rare epilepsy community makes progress towards clinical readiness
Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal childhood progressive myoclonus epilepsy and glycogen storage disease that is caused by recessive mutations in either EPM2A or EPM2B. The hallmarks of LD are cytoplasmic, aberrant glycogen-like aggregates, called Lafora bodies (LBs), that drive disease progression. The 9th Annual Lafora Science Symposium was held in San Diego, California and brought together over 70 researchers, clinicians, academic trainees, and friends and family members of patients with LD and 80 attendees joined virtually. This symposium focused primarily on international collaborations for therapeutic development and biomarker identification and strategies for preparing the Lafora community for upcoming clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy.
Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.
From September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.
