Share Your Purple Power! 💜 In November, Epilepsy Awareness Month is observed in certain countries to raise awareness about this specific condition affecting millions around the world. This year’s theme celebrates the unwavering strength, resilience, and courage of epilepsy warriors, alongside their families, caregivers, and advocates. Epilepsy is a common symptom affecting people living with neurodevelopmental RASopathies, and especially Syngap1 and CFC syndroms. To learn how to support further to spread awareness about this condition, visit the website of the Epilepsy Foundation: https://lnkd.in/ejwPh9Cn #Epilepsy #EURASProject #RareDisease #EUResearch

Patient Research Partnership – Towards New Treatments for Neurodevelopmental RASopathies
About us
The EURAS project brings together patients and researchers to combine patient-reported data with cutting-edge technologies for the development of effective disease management strategies for neurodevelopmental RASopathies. Patients are at the core of EURAS. Their perspectives inform all project activities. EURAS brings together European patient organisations representing more than 1200 families. Together, they form a transnational network for support, exchange and awareness-raising. By setting up a PATient registry of RASopathies (PATRAS), EURAS will have access to large and, until now, unique datasets from patient cohorts. As data collection on rare diseases is particular challenging, EURAS firmly believes that their foundational work will be of immense benefit for future research on rare diseases. PATRAS allows EURAS researchers to work on the stratification of patient cohorts, assess disease progression and evaluate treatment effectiveness. The project uses stem cell technology to develop novel disease models that will represent disease variability more accurately. Based on these models, researchers investigate disease mechanisms and test the efficacy of newly identified treatments. Furthermore, EURAS partners develop new technologies for drug screening and for non-invasive delivery of therapeutic drugs to the brain. Finally, they will also conduct preclinical proof-of-concept trials with repurposed drugs, antisense oligonucleotides and motor-cognitive training. Funded by the European Union.

📣 Event update: 15th European Epilepsy Congress 💡 #EURASproject partners Kirsten Eschermann and Lorenz Kiwull from Paracelsus Medizinische Privatuniversität attended the 15th European Epilepsy Congress to present a poster on “Standard procedure for common data elements in groups of rare diseases”. This novel data selection process is the fruit of a collaborative effort within the EURAS consortium, involving Universidad de Málaga, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, SYNGAP Elternhilfe e.V. and Paracelsus Medizinische Privatuniversität. This sophisticated approach method bases itself on the input of several stakeholders, the Delphi method, and bioinformatics analysis. Thanks to its standardised component, this procedure is suitable for various rare disease groups, such as SYNGAP1 and classical RASopathies. In addition, the poster was selected by the ILAE Young Epilepsy Section as one of ten posters for a special poster tour.🌟 Read the whole article on our website: https://lnkd.in/eM5rpERB #EURASproject #epilepsy #EUResearch
