published at : 29/10/2017

Over the last several years research into the basic biology of CCHS and respiratory drive have exposed some of the etiology of CCHS (Kumar et al., 2017; Joubert et al., 2016), clinical advancements have enriched patient outcomes (Diep, 2015), and individuals living with CCHS have flourished. The 5th International CCHS Research Conference will target collaboration among CCHS researchers, clinicians, and patients to advance understanding and treatment of CCHS. CCHS professionals and CCHS families are invited to attend. The 2018 conference will represent the 5th international gathering of the CCHS rare disease community. These historical meetings have fostered a supportive and collaborative CCHS union between professional and family populations, all with the intent of improving outcomes for CCHS patients. The 2018 Conference planning committee is a diverse team of CCHS experts and CCHS Family Network leaders. CCHS clinicians and researchers from the United States and around the world will be in attendance.
