11th International Meeting on Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes 

15-17 September 2023, Homburg (Saar), Germany 


Dear Friend 

Are you affected by neuroacanthocytosis (NA) (chorea-acanthocytosis or McLeod syndrome) - either as a patient, family member, friend, or caregiver? 

The Advocacy for Neuroacanthocytosis Patients and Neuroacanthocytosis Advocacy USA, Inc. are helping to organise the 11th international meeting of those affected by NA. We are small charities registered in the UK and the US respectively. We support people all over the world and we welcome the involvement of all those affected by NA in advocating for awareness and research in these diseases. 

You are invited to participate in this 11th meeting with the experts from around the world. They will be sharing their knowledge of current research being undertaken to better understand the nature of the diseases, and to improve care and daily life for patients and families. The ultimate goal is to develop treatments and eventually a cure, and your participation is crucial!  

This will be an opportunity to meet others and their families and carers affected by NA. 

 

 

Location: Saarland University Medical Center
