1108<p><em>The Genetics in Movement Disorders in Asia </em>course is a two-day intensive online course that provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving field of genetics within movement disorders. Participants will explore the clinical application of ACMG guidelines and the interpretation of complex genetic reports alongside deep dives into the genetic foundations of Parkinson&rsquo;s disease, atypical parkinsonism, dystonia, chorea, and ataxia. The program further addresses specialized topics such as mitochondrial disorders, epilepsy dyskinesia syndromes, and the critical role of genetic counseling in clinical practice, concluding with a "Case Parade" to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.</p><p><strong>REGISTRATION DEADLINE: July 28, 2026</strong></p>Ataxias, Chorea/Huntingtons Disease (HD), Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS)/Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD), Dystonia, Genetic & Hereditary Disorders, Genetics, Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders, Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA), Other Movement Disorders, Parkinson Disease/Hypokinetic Movement Disorders, Parkinson's Disease (PD), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)4200.00https://education.movementdisorders.org/Detail/1108/Genetics-in-Movement-Disorders-in-Asiahttps://education.movementdisorders.org/Upload/ActivityImages/26AOS-genetics_202x108344579.jpghttps://education.movementdisorders.org/Upload/BannerImages/26AOS-genetics_783x40494455.jpg2026-08-01T00:00:002026-08-02T00:00:00MDS Education<p><a href="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/UPDATED_MDS-AOS Genetics - Course Agenda_29042026113721.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img width="87" height="87" src="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/1777479221796_29042026111341.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii"></a><!--[endif]--><a href="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/UPDATED_MDS-AOS Genetics - Course Agenda_29042026113721.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Course Schedule</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--><strong>&nbsp;</strong><!--[if !vml]--><a href="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/Faculty Listing (w Photos)_29042026120327.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img width="98" height="98" src="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/1777479221890_29042026111342.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii"></a><!--[endif]--><a href="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/Faculty Listing (w Photos)_29042026120327.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Course Faculty</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><em>Schedule as of April 29, 2026</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>REGISTRATION FEES</strong><br><strong>MDS Members:&nbsp;</strong>$0 USD<br><strong>Non-Members:&nbsp;</strong>$50 USD<br><em>*Non-members wishing to apply for MDS Membership to receive the MDS Member rate for this course will need to apply for membership no later than 2 weeks in advance of the close of registration.</em>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Saturday, August 1, 2026 &ndash; Sunday, August 2, 2026</strong></p><p><em><br>Day 1: Saturday, August 1, 2026 | 08:00 &ndash; 11:25 (IST)</em></p><p><em>Day 2: Sunday, August 2, 2026 | 08:00 &ndash; 11:30 (IST)</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>To convert to your local time, please click here:&nbsp;</em><a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html &nbsp;</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>LEARNING OBJECTIVES</strong></p><p>1.
