Update meeting with Dr. Gomez

Dear SCA6 Network Members, I would like to invite you to attend a follow up meeting  on Friday October 24th  with Dr. Gomez as discussed at our last meeting to talk more about the logistics of performing a genome wide association study (GWAS) for SCA6. His colleague in England is conducting this study and it is designed to analyze DNA from people with SCA6 to better understand genetic modifiers beyond the CACNA1A gene that might alter risk for disease onset, symptoms, and severity. Please see the meeting link below and otherwise instructions are the same as last time to join. I also wanted to share this link to an incredibly motivational video that was shared with me by Robert Dean as the culmination of a creative project involving many members of our sister group the Ataxia Resources and Discussion Group. You may recognize some of the courageous people in this videa. It certainly inspired to get up and get moving.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0uvVySQ_5o&t=43s Be...
