The Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association (SRNA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the support of children, adolescents, and adults with a spectrum of rare neuroimmune disorders including: Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM), MOG Antibody Disease (MOGAD), Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD), Optic Neuritis (ON) and Transverse Myelitis (TM). We support individuals living with rare neuroimmune diagnoses and their families, promote awareness to empower patients, families, clinicians and scientists, build a collaborative and dedicated clinical care network and help advance scientific understanding and research.
