This comprehensive report captures the groundbreaking research and patient-focused discussions from September 2025, making the knowledge shared at the symposium accessible to the wider scientific and medical community.

The publication documents three days of intensive collaboration between over 50 scientists, clinicians, and 15 patients and family members. It covers everything from keynote lectures by Professors Adrian Danek and Pietro de Camilli on lipid transport proteins, to cutting-edge research presentations on VPS13A, XK, Cohen syndrome, and other VPS13-related disorders.

The proceedings also highlight our patient-oriented sessions on occupational therapy, mental health, speech and communication, plus José-Miguel Figueiredo's powerful theatre performance "If I Reach Korea I'll Tell You."

It is important to share these through prestigious publications such as Tremor Journal because of the open access, meaning anyone can read it for free. This helps spread awareness among clinicians who may encounter patients with NA syndromes, supports researchers looking to collaborate, and provides families with a comprehensive overview of current scientific understanding.

The proceedings also document the Glenn Irvine Prize award to Dr. Marianna Leonzino and summarize all 20 oral presentations and 10 poster presentations from the symposium.

For anyone who couldn't attend the symposium or wants to revisit the scientific discussions in detail, the full proceedings are available at https://tremorjournal.org/articles/10.5334/tohm.1124. This publication is another milestone in making the research visible and accessible to the global medical and scientific community.
