MLD Eligibility Panel
|
|
In cooperation with the MLD initiative, ERN-RND established a standard pathway for consulting an international MLD expert panel whenever possible benefits of treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or gene therapy are not straightforward for a patient with confirmed MLD diagnosis. Upon submission of an eligible case, the treatment eligibility panel is convened on an ad hoc basis, organized and supported by the ERN-RND CPMS helpdesk.
|
We encourage all physicians in Europe to discuss the possible benefits of treatment options for difficult cases with this MLD expert panel.
|
You would like to discuss one of your patients with the panel?

ERN-RND Patient Journeys
|
|
Many patients have to travel a long journey until they receive a diagnosis of a rare disease. Patient Journeys demonstrate this process. They are info-graphical overviews that visualize patients’ needs in the care of their rare disease. Because Patient Journeys are designed from the patient’s perspective, they allow clinicians to effectively address the needs of rare disease patients.
|
We are pleased to be able to offer our Patient Journeys in different languages. Some Patient Journeys have already been translated, others are currently being translated.
|
If you would like to translate a patient journey in your own language, please contact us and we will send you the documents to do so.

Upcoming joint educational webinars
|
ERN-RND provides free educational webinars on rare neurological and neuromuscular diseases - in collaboration with the European Reference Network for Rare Neuromuscular Diseases (EURO-NMD) and the European Academy of Neurology (EAN). The goal is to share knowledge on rare neurological, movement and neuromuscular disorders via a series of webinars presented by expert members of both networks.

AGI Studio on mFARS in Ataxia
|
Ataxia Global Initiative cordially invites you to the next AGI Tools & Methods studio series:
|
The mFARS Score and why it can work even better in Spinocerebellar Ataxia.
Speaker: Christian Rummey, Clinical Data Science GmbH, Basel, Switzerland
|
Host: Matthis Synofzik, on behalf of AGI WG Clinical Outcomes
|
Date: 20 November 2023, 5-6 pm CET
|
AGI studios are not “ready-to-digest presentations”, but instead aim to provide an active, joint open discussion format for hard-to-crack methodological key bottlenecks in the ataxia trial-readiness field, where potential first approaches towards solutions are to be developed jointly by all attendees (rather than ready-made by the presenter and/or moderator).
