# 2020 International Scientific conference on succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD)

> **NIH NIH R13** · WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $20,000

## Abstract

Project Summary
We propose to organize an international scientific conference on succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase
deficiency (SSADHD), a rare disease affecting approximately 200 individuals worldwide. The conference is
meant to satisfy several unmet needs, including the need 1) to bring together all stakeholders in the field of
succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) research (scientists, clinicians, patients,
pharmaceutical industry), 2) to summarize advances in SSADHD research, including brain imaging and
neurophysiology, biomarkers, clinical and pre-clinical therapeutic interventions, cellular and molecular
pathogenesis, and genetics since the last SSADHD research conference in 2016, 3) engage young
investigators in SSAHD and rare disease research, 4) disseminate progress via peer-reviewed publication of
the conference proceedings, 5) provide a voice to patients and patient advocacy in SSADHD research. The
conference will be held July 9-10, 2020, in Boston, MA, USA, and will be open to everyone interested
without any restriction based on age, gender, racial/ethnic background, disability, or social origin. In-person
and on-line attendance (webcast) will be offered. The conference will follow a traditional format with
keynote/state-of-the-art lectures, scientific sessions with presentations and discussions, poster presentations,
and Q&A and roundtables with patients, families and scientists.
