- Data which will be gathered as part of studies to find out more about the symptoms and course of these rare diseases
- Explanations of the symptoms and genetic causes of the diseases for patients, their families and physicians
- Links to organizations that may be of help to the patients and their families
- Train neurologists to become specialists who can both treat and carry out research in these conditions.
- Use the information and the help of the trained investigators to find treatments for these diseases.
