Our family conference has a special place in my heart. I dearly treasure the time I spend with all of you and the entire MPS and ML community each year. Eight years ago, I attended my first family conference, just a few weeks after my son Jack was diagnosed with MPS II. The support, encouragement and education I received at that conference changed our lives forever. While I was overwhelmed, I was also filled with hope and extreme gratitude for this amazing community and all the support it provides. Endless opportunities abound at this conference, and I encourage you to take full advantage of your time here. This is the time to share your stories, ask questions, learn about treatment options and emerging research, and spend time cherishing old friends and making new ones. All of our stories illustrate the different paths that have brought us here, but what joins us together as a community is a special and unique bond—the MPS journey. I look forward to getting to know each of you, hearing your stories, and sharing all the great news on emerging technology, research and the amazing endeavors of the National MPS Society. Together, we will continue to build this community and lead the way to a better future for all those impacted by these devastating diseases. In the words of Walt Disney, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” May the magic of Disney inspire and uplift you during our 2019 conference! Lisa P. Todd Chairman, National MPS Society Thank you to Grey Chapin, B.L.A.I.R. Connection, who with the support of her network generously donated all of the family gift bags. Thank you, Grey!

    Sangamo Therapeutics Logo Sangamo BioSciences Presents New Data From In Vivo Protein Replacement Platform Programs For MPS I And MPS II At The 12th Annual WORLDSymposium™ Meeting March 2, 2016 IVPRP Approach Permits Therapeutic Enzymes for Lysosomal Storage Disorders to Cross the Blood Brain Barrier Improving Cognitive Symptoms of Disease RICHMOND, Calif., March 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGMO), the leader in therapeutic genome editing, announced the presentation of new preclinical data in disease models from its In Vivo Protein Replacement Platform™ (IVPRP) programs for MPS I (Hurler syndrome) and MPS II (Hunter syndrome). The data demonstrate that the Company's IVPRP approach enabled stable production of therapeutic levels of replacement enzyme from the liver into the circulation and secondary tissues, including the brain, resulting in significant reduction in biomarkers of the disease and, importantly, statistically significant improvements in cognitive function in treated animals. The data were presented by Sangamo scientists and their collaborators at the University of Minnesota in two oral presentations at the 2016 Annual WORLDSymposium™ Meeting being held in San Diego from February 29 to March 4, 2016. "These data represent a fundamental shift in the therapeutic intervention in Hunter and Hurler syndromes. The data demonstrate that constant, stable production of both the human alpha-L-iduronidase and iduronate 2-sulfatase enzymes generated by the IVPRP strategy enables its transport from the circulation into the brain in sufficient quantities to have a therapeutic benefit on neurological aspects of the disease," said Chester Whitley, Ph.D., M.D., director of the Gene Therapy Center at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
