22 European NeuroMuscular Center Multi-centre clinical trials Better networking with other centres Muscular Dystrophy Association (USA) Asian Oceanian Myology Center Integration of Eastern European countries Uniform outcome measurements, patients registries, funding and developing/emerging countries Secure funding (including through the E.U.)

23 WANDA seeks a world in which neuromuscular disorders are understood and eradicated and in which the people affected are well supported. Quadrennial assembly, 50 national NMD-ass. Support emerging/new associations

24 Objective 4: to facilitate swift dissemination of information on treatment and research findings Warnings for fake treatments: myoblast transfer, stemcell therapy in China

25 Sharing Best Practices neuromuscular disease WANDA Istanbul 2006 Patients roadmap to treatment

26 Pathways leading to therapy (1986) (2006) Internationally recognised uniform/consistent diagnostic criteria Early detection, diagnostics (an alert primary healthcare) Multi disciplinary networks of expert centres Uniform/consistent (how to set up a registry) longitudinal registration of patient data banking of patient material (DNA, tissue &)(how to set up a biobank) Understanding of pathogenesis Gene localisation, identification, gene products Availability of animal models Pharmacological research; trials, phase 1, 2, 3 (???) Encouraging regulatory system designation, authorisation, reimbursement Patient organisations as lobbyists, fighters in media & political arena, entrepreneurs!
