Read MoreThe 2020 Virtual SSADH Conference held July 9 and 10, was made up of two half day events including formal presentations by outstanding clinicians and researchers in the field from around the world, allowing for a question and answer session at the end of each speaker.
The goal of the conference was to share updates from the on-going Natural History Study, encourage brainstorming between researchers and clinicians and discuss the best directions for future research moving forward. A portion of the agenda was devoted to update families and caregivers of SSADH patients.
The proceeding from this event will be published in the Journal of Child Neurology at a later date.
