The VASCA Magazine aims to inform patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals about the current developments in the diagnosis, treatment and research of vascular anomalies.

Researchers from Prof. Vikkula's group at the Institute de Duve, in close collaboration with the Centre for Vascular Malformations (Prof. Laurence Boon) and the Centre for Human Genetics (Dr. Nicole Revencu) of the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, discovered a new form of hereditary vascular lesions which they called CM-AVM2.

The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) was officially founded in 1992, two years after its first International Conference on Vascular Anomalies in 1990 in Amsterdam.. 

Every year, the 28th of February is Rare Disease Day, abbreviated as RDD. To mark RDD in 2018, the King Baudouin Foundation launched a new prize destined to further encourage researchers working in the field of rare illnesses: the Generet Award. 

During the week of May 28th we had the opportunity of attending the ISSVA 2018 conference. The ISSVA is the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies, an organisation that groups specialists in the field and runs biennial workshops/conferences to share information, innovations and best practices.
