A genetic, neurodegenerative and multisystemic disease, poorly researched, with no cure or treatment. It leads to severe progressive physical disability, immunodeficiency and a high probability of cancer, among other complications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After launching its second international call for research projects in 2023 to find a cure or treatment, Aefat\u2019s Scientific Committee selected two promising projects, both led by women, and they are set to be commence this month in Barcelona and Oslo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new projects are valued at 150,000 euros each, with a duration of 18-24 months. Aefat\u2019s investment effort has been supported by contributions from associations in other countries, specifically two of the nine that form the <a href=\"https:\/\/cureat.org\/\">A-T Global Alliance<\/a>, an alliance established in 2020 to advance international research and awareness. The English association <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/actionforat.org\/\">Action for A-T<\/a> <\/strong>and the Australian association <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/brashat.org.au\/\">BrAshA-T<\/a> <\/strong>are collaborating in financing these two new projects initiated from Spain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project \u201cPreclinical Assessment of Intrathecal rAAV9-Mediated miATM Therapy for Ataxia Telangiectasia In Mouse Models\u201d is led by researcher Hilde L. Nilsen, from the department of Microbiology, Genomic Instability in Aging and Disease at Oslo University Hospital (OUH), in Norway. Nilsen&#8217;s team, previously involved in researching this disease, is concluding ex-vivo studies and will prepare for trials with animal models, aiming to propose a potential international clinical trial in humans in the coming years. This research has the potential to transform classic ataxia telangiectasia into a milder form of the disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As explained by Nilsen, \u201cwe have been working for several years studying the mechanisms of neurodegeneration in ataxia telangiectasia. Based on this work, we conducted a clinical trial with vitamin B3 supplements and observed that it could slow the progression of the disease. But it is not a cure. In this project we work with the very ambitious goal of developing gene therapy strategies for this disease. There are many challenges to be resolved before we can offer gene therapy to patients, and here we focus on the first obstacle: identifying a minimal gene that can be packaged into a virus that can deliver the gene to neurons and restore ATM function\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second project, titled \u201cModelling Ataxia Telangiectasia pathogenesis and therapeutics using human pluripotent stem cells and genetic engineering\u201d, is led by N\u00faria Montserrat Pulido, of the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC, Barcelona). The project aims to obtain iPSc cells with the patient mutations, develop organoids, explore the possibility of gene editing processes for different mutations and create a platform for drug testing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As detailed by N\u00faria Montserrat, \u201cour collaborative project aims to establish new cellular models to understand ataxia telangiectasia, caused by mutations in the ATM gene. We will use genetic engineering and cell engineering to generate cells with causal mutations of the disease and, on the other hand, generate different types of cells and tissues affected in these patients. For this second objective, we will establish cultures called organoids, which are cellular systems that we can generate in the laboratory that resemble the organ we want to study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The goal, as highlighted by the biologist and researcher, \u201cis to create a cellular platform to study processes that are important during ataxia telangiectasia, and what is also crucial, we will be able to exploit this cellular platform to test vectors and therapeutic compounds that allow us to correct defects in cells and mini-organs created in the laboratory due to the presence of mutations in the ATM gene\u00bb. Additionally, \u201cwe will incorporate the participation of infrastructure such as the Biomodels and Biobanks Platform of the Carlos III Health Institute, through which we will ensure the incorporation and custody of biological samples from the project. And we have the collaboration of Jordi Surrall\u00e9s, a doctor in genetics and director of the Research Institute of the Sant Pau Hospital\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the efficiency of this project, Aefat has connected the team with international researchers working in the same field and other professionals who have participated in projects financed funded by the charity, such as Marc G\u00fcell (Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aefat has also worked on mapping potential treatments under study internationally, in collaboration with charities and researchers worldwide, to define the research \u00e1reas for ataxia telangiectasia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While their goals also include improving the quality of life for patients and raising awareness, investing in new research is paramount for Aefat. The association continues to raise funds through various solidarity actions and challenges driven by families, as well as accumulating donations from individuals and companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among its solidarity actions, the Aitzina Folk Solidarity Festival stands out, created in 2013 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, stands out offering more than 20 concerts and workshops for all audiences in each edition. Additionally, the creation of the Zurich Aefat Team in 2017, participating in the five marathons sponsored by the insurance company in Spain (Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebasti\u00e1n and Valencia), is noteworthy. This inclusive sports initiative involves over a hundred charity runners from across Spain, pushing special chairs for children and young people with ataxia telangiectasia during those 42 kilometers in various marathons. Aefat is also present at other charitable events and supports various solidarity sports challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>PREVIOUS PROJECTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, with these two new projects, Aefat is co-funding 9 national and international research projects, along with similar associations from other countries. In total, since 2015, they have invested over 600,000 euros in 12 research projects on ataxia telangiectasia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first scholarship launched by Aefat, valued at 120,000 euros, was awarded in 2015 to researcher Almudena Serrano to conduct her doctoral thesis on the relationship between DNA breaks and the development of the disease, at the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER), under the direction of biologist Felipe Cort\u00e9s, a CSIC research scientist. The initial results of this project were published in the Nature Communications journal in 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guided by their Scientific Committee, Aefat launched its first international call in 2018, worth 150,000 euros, awarded to the gene therapy project developed by the Cl\u00ednica Universidad de Navarra, led by Felipe Pr\u00f3sper, in collaboration with the Cima Universidad de Navarra research center, with Borja S\u00e1ez. The promising initial results of this Project were published in 2019 in the Nature Communications journal, along with other researchers from Harvard and Stanford universities in the United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2021 Aefat decided to expand this project with an additional 83,000 euros to continue the research in collaboration with the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona, with researcher Marc G\u00fcell, incorporating the FiCAT technology (Find and cut-and-transfer) which combines the precision of CRISPR-cas9 and the gene transfer capabilities of transposases. The project, titled \u201cBone marrow autotransplantation as a cure for the primary immunodeficiency characteristic of ataxia telangiectasia: new gene editing and non-genotoxic conditioning tools\u201d, remains open until the end of this year. The goal is to address the primary immunodeficiency associated with this rare disease, leading to frequent hospitalizations and deaths of patients, either due to respiratory complications or certain types of cancer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Between 2021 and 2023, Aefat has co-financed several more projects in collaboration with other associations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, the United States and Granada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, Aefat supports the participation of A-T patients in clinical trials and their organization in Spanish venues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ABOUT ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA AND AEFAT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ataxia telangiectasia (AT or A-T) is one of the 300 types of ataxias and causes severe progressive physical disability. It is a rare, genetic and neurodegenerative disease that typically manifests before the age of two, although there are patients who have waited up to 10 years for a diagnosis due to confusion with other pathologies. It affects the functions of various organs, leading to an inability to coordinate movements, progressive loss of mobility (requiring a wheelchair around the age of 9), difficulty in speech, stunted growth, immunodeficiency, premature aging, eating difficulties, skin and vision problems, pneumonia and other complications. Patients are more susceptible to malignant tumors such as sarcomas, lymphomas and leukemias.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aefat is a non-profit association established in 2009 and declared of Public Utility since 2014. The association belongs to FEDER (Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases) and the A-T Global Alliance (www.cureat.org). Aefat also maintains close contact with families of A-T patients in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a two-minute explanation of what ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA is (video explained by families and affected individuals worldwide):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rtwGsOa0kV4\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rtwGsOa0kV4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2765\" src=\"https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hilde Loge Nilsen Oslo University Hospital Norway y N\u00faria Montserrat IBEC Barcelona\" width=\"2565\" height=\"2565\" style=\"display: block; margin: 5px auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/exciting-elbakyan.137-74-93-36.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hilde_Loge_Nilsen_Oslo_University_Hospital_Norway_y_Nuria_Montserrat_IBEC_Barcelona-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2565px) 100vw, 2565px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aefat.es\/\">Aefat<\/a>, nuestra asociaci\u00f3n, que agrupa a las familias afectadas por ataxia telangiectasia en Espa\u00f1a, contin\u00faa su lucha por la investigaci\u00f3n de esta enfermedad rara que afecta al menos a 40 ni\u00f1os y j\u00f3venes en el pa\u00eds.
