MEPAN Research Network
Nothing can be accomplished without collaboration, and our experience is that rare disease research is often done in silos. Please consider joining our effort to expand MEPAN research beyond the affected pathway into relevant rare disease areas that are biochemically or pathologically connected.
We believe there is potential to find treatments that can help patients with MEPAN as well as those with some types of Leigh's disease, and certain brain iron disorders, acidurias, and pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiencies. Consider donating time or resources to that can help us improve the quality of life for people with these conditions.
