1008<p>The <em>MDS-PAS Genetics of Movement Disorders</em> course offers a comprehensive exploration of genetic movement disorders, with a focus on diagnostic strategies, clinical interpretation, and collaborative research opportunities across the Pan-American section. Expert-led sessions cover a range of topics, including the epidemiology of genetic movement disorders, genetic testing techniques, and the critical role of clinical phenomenology in interpreting test results. Participants will examine the complexities of negative exome sequencing, gain insights from real-world clinical experiences, and explore the diagnostic nuances of conditions such as genetic Parkinson&rsquo;s disease, dystonias, Huntington&rsquo;s disease, and genetic ataxias.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Thursday, November 27, 2025</strong></p>Biomarkers & Diagnostic Tools, Chorea/Huntingtons Disease (HD), Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS)/Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD), Dystonia, Epidemiology, Epidemiology & Environment, Freezing of Gait (FOG), Genetics, Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders, Lewy-body dementia (LBD), Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA), Myoclonus, Parkinson Disease/Hypokinetic Movement Disorders, Parkinson's Disease (PD), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Tics/Tourettes syndrome (TS), Tremor/Essential Tremor (ET)4650.00https://education.movementdisorders.org/Detail/1008/MDS-PAS-Genetics-of-Movement-Disordershttps://education.movementdisorders.org/Upload/ActivityImages/25PASBASIC-Genetics_202x108816739.jpghttps://education.movementdisorders.org/Upload/BannerImages/25PASBASIC-Genetics_734x404810656.jpg2025-12-01T00:00:002025-12-02T00:00:00MDS Education<p><a href="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/25PASBASIC Online Course Schedule_05092025063149.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/mds-lms/FroalaFiles/Course schedule_23012024043738.png" style="width: 125px; height: 125px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><strong>Course Schedule</strong><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong> <a href="https://d1t84l7yt030ad.cloudfront.net/FroalaFiles/25PASBASIC Faculty Listing - LMS_05092025062814.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/mds-lms/FroalaFiles/Faculty Details_23012024043924.png" style="width: 125px; height: 125px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><strong>Course Faculty</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Schedule as of September 5, 2025&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">REGISTRATION FEES</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br><strong>Members:</strong>&nbsp; $0 USD<br><strong>Non-Members*:</strong>&nbsp;$50 USD</span></p><p>*<em>Non-members wishing to&nbsp;</em><a href="https://www.movementdisorders.org/membership" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>apply for MDS Membership</em></a><em>&nbsp;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><br><br><strong>SESSION OVERVIEW</strong><br>Day 1: December 1, 2025; 18:00 UTC -3<br>Day 2: December 2, 2025; 18:00 UTC -3<br><br></p><p><strong>LEARNING OBJECTIVES</strong></p><p>Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:&nbsp;</p><ol><li>Define the key epidemiological patterns of genetic movement disorders in the Americas.</li><li>Describe the principles of clinical phenomenology relevant to interpreting genetic test results.</li><li>Classify genetic movement disorders based on their predominant clinical and genetic characteristics.</li><li>Compare diagnostic approaches for different types of genetic movement disorders.</li><li>Describe current and emerging treatment options for various genetic movement disorders.</li></ol><p><br></p><p><strong>INTENDED AUDIENCE</strong></p><p>This activity is intended for movement disorder specialists, general neurologists, movement disorder fellows, and neurology residents.</p>0/Courses/Genetics-of-Movement-Disorders.htmGenetics of Movement Disorders2025-07-23T18:01:01.45000Expert / AdvancedClinician-General NeurologistClinician-Movement Disorder SpecialistFellow-Movement DisordersResident-NeurologyEnglishPan AmericaLive OnlineUSA
