German Network of Neurological and Ophthalmological Ion Channel Disorders
IonNeurONet
The goal of IonNeurONet is to create a clinical and research network for neurological and ophthalmological Ion Channel disorders. Main objects of the projects are (1) To improve care and counselling for patients with ion channel disorders, (2) to improve clinical diagnostics and to establish fast and efficient genetic testing, (3) to identify novel genetic defects causing ion channel disorders and elucidate their pathophysiological mechanisms and (4) to promote exchange between clinical partners and basic researchers and translation into novel treatment options.
