The 11 th International Meeting on Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes was held on September 15 th -17 th , 2023 at the University Hospital Campus in Homburg/Saar, Germany. The meeting followed the previous ten international symposia, the last of which was held online due to restrictions due to COVID19, in March 2021. The setting of the meeting encouraged interactions, exchange of ideas, and networking opportunities among the participants from around the globe, including basic and clinical scientists, clinicians, and especially patients, their relatives and caregivers. A total of about 20 oral communications were presented in five scientific sessions accompanied by a keynote lecture, a "Poster-Blitz" session, the "Glenn Irvine Prize" lecture and a panel discussion about "Patient registries, international cooperation & future perspectives". In summary, attendees discussed recent advances and set the basis for the next steps, action points, and future studies in close collaboration with the patient associations, which were actively involved in the whole process.
