ALSTROM SYNDROME CLINICAL STUDY AT NIH
Alstrom Syndrome is now included in a new Ciliopathy Study taking place at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland (USA). The testing would take place at the NIH from Monday to Thursday of any given week. On the last day, Friday, you would meet to discuss results with the medical team. The individual with Alstrom and the families will receive a lot of valuable clinical information and feedback from NIH experts in many fields, and testing that might not be available to you locally is offered at no cost to you . You would also get copies of all results and recommendations to take home with you for your physician(s). All expenses for travel and food/ lodging are covered by NIH for the person with Alstrom Syndrome and one parent. If you live outside the USA, travel to NIH can be paid from the point of entry to the US. The NIH Children’s Center is available for lodging and the expenses are covered.
There are limited spots available, and they will probably fill up fast, so if you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible. Appointments available through May 2014.
This is a really important step forward for all stakeholders in Alstrom Syndrome! Let me know, please, if you are interested or if you have questions.
