Title: 'Neurological disorders - finding the causes, accurate diagnosis and prevention'
Abstract:
30% of genetic disorders are neurological. The aim of the International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC) is to identify all Mendelian disorder genes by 2020. At the current rate of disease gene discovery, this may be achieved. When we know all the Mendelian disease genes, what should we do with that knowledge? Preventing neurological disease may be equally important to trying to cure it.
