Extractions: Smith, along with Nick Krest, Scott Kam, and Josh Maready will attempt to set a new world record by making the transcontinental trek in less than 3 weeks. The current world distance record was set nearly twenty years ago when Smith along with Gary Fluitt, Paul Dunn, and Bob Denike, who completed the transcontinental skate in 26 days. "This time it will be a lot harder" Smith said "I'm well into my 40's now, and pushing a skateboard 150 miles a day isn't so easy on old bones".

Perfect pavement the whole way, flat or slightly downhill. We actually had to slow down in order to give the press time to set up. John Dillon was waiting for us at the finish with ice cold Cokes and Gatorade. He also treated us to lunch at the Cracker Barrel. Thanks, John. Also thanks to Wes E. for helping out with filming. Relaxed and swam at the motel pool, then went to the movies. I hope everyone noticed the incredible contribution that Rene Bruce of longskate.com made yesterday, .25 cents per mile and 5% of longskate.com sales for the rest of the year. Thanks, Rene. Some of you may not know that if Rene hadn't stepped up to the plate in 2001 the World's would have never happened. For me it was a bittersweet day, skating those last few miles reflecting on the trek and my skating career in general. I am blessed that I was able to make this ride, and blessed to have so many friends and strangers who made it all possible. And most of all my wife Maurine. There are not many wives who would put up with and support all my crazy projects...I love you Maurine.

Our Vision- To gain awareness of the Lowe Syndrome disease and further research. Programmes and Activities- The Trust has a full programme of activities as shown on the website www.lowetrust.com Further Details about Lowe Syndrome Trust Charity Registration No: Broad sector: Annual turnover: less than 100k Website: www.lowetrust.com Staff Details: Full time staff: 1

About Dundee 29 April 2004 Lowe syndrome A young boy who suffers from the debilitating Lowe Syndrome appeared live on GMTV this morning with his mum and the scientist who is leading research to advance understanding and treatment of the genetic disease at the University of Dundee. Oscar Thomas (10), his mum Lorraine and Dr John Lucocq from the School of Life Sciences were interviewed by Lorraine Kelly live on LK today to tell viewers about the sydrome and the vital research that is going on in DUndee to find a treatment and ultimately a cure for Lowe syndrome. Lowe Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects only boys and produces cataracts in the eyes, defects in brain development and kidney problems. Life expectancy of the boys is short due to the complications of the disease. The disease was first recognised in 1952 by Dr Charles Lowe, and is caused by a defective gene (Ocrl1). Dr Lucocq has been awarded a grant of £49,869 from the Lowe Syndrome Trust run by Lorraine Thomas to undertake research on the protein, Ocrl1, which is produced by the faculty gene and is thought to reside in the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for the processing, sorting, packaging and distribution of proteins in cells to the right destinations within cells. Dr Lucocq believes that defects in kidney and nerve cell function are linked to problems of protein transport from Golgi to other parts of the cells.

Extractions: Lowe Syndrome Funding On 28 October Oscar Thomas met John Lucocq , whose research it is hoped will advance the understanding and treatment of the genetic disease he suffers from. Lorraine Thomas established the Lowe Syndrome Trust in June 2000 after Oscar was diagnosed with the incurable syndrome in 1999. The objective of the Trust is to fund medical research which will eventually lead to the development of drugs to better regulate the metabolic imbalance of the disease and eventually a cure of the syndrome.

Extractions: Lowe Syndrome (LS) is a rare genetic condition that causes physical and mental handicaps, and medical problems. It was first described in 1952 by Drs. Lowe, Terrey, and MacLachlan at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The condition became known as "Lowe syndrome" named after Dr. Charles Lowe, the senior member of the group that described it. Because of the three major organ systems involved (eyes, brain, and kidney), it is also known as OCRL (oculo-cerebro-renal) syndrome. Boys with Lowe Syndrome are born with cataracts in both eyes, which are usually removed at a few months of age. Most boys are fitted with glasses, contacts, or a combination of the two. Glaucoma is present in about 50% of the boys with Lowe syndrome, though usually not at birth. Prescription eye drop and/or surgery is required to maintain appropriate eye pressure in these cases. While not present at birth, many Lowe Syndrome boys develop kidney problems at approximately one year of age. This is characterized by the abnormal loss of certain substances into the urine, including bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, amino acids, organic acids, albumin and other small proteins, calcium, phosphate, glucose, and L-carnitine. This problem is known as Fanconi-type renal tubular dysfunction and can also be seen in certain other diseases and syndromes. In Lowe syndrome, the Fanconi syndrome may be mild and involve only a few substances or may be severe and involve large losses of many substances. Medications can be prescribed to replace the lost substances.

Reporter - Jono, DJ With A Heart The lowe syndrome Trust was set up in 2000 by Lorraine Thomas, mother of 10yearold son Hopefully, it will produce a simple test for lowe syndrome, http://www.imperial.ac.uk/P4792.htm
Extractions: by Tom Miller The money, raised by the Trust, will fund three years of research at the College into Lowe Syndrome, an incurable, rare disease affecting up to 10 per million male births, and often resulting in bilateral cataracts, muscle weakness, and kidney and brain development problems. Work will include chemical test for signs of the OCRL enzyme which could lead to a fast, user-friendly and reliable method to help doctors diagnose and treat the Syndrome. The defective enzyme means that carriers cannot control levels of the molecule, PIP2, which leads to the development of Lowe Syndrome symptoms. The Lowe Syndrome Trust was set up in 2000 by Lorraine Thomas, mother of 10-year old son Oscar who was diagnosed with the disease in 1999. "We were devastated when Oscar was diagnosed with the syndrome," she said. "I am so grateful for the research being carried out at Imperial College. "Hopefully, it will produce a simple test for Lowe Syndrome, leading to the development of medicines to better regulate the metabolic imbalance, or perhaps even lead the way to synthesising the missing enzyme."

New Potentially Revolutionary Gene Editing Technique Scientists at Sangamo Biosciences in California have developed a new technique to permanently rewrite any gene in the human body. The new gene editing technique offers hope for many individuals affected by inherited disorders. The scientists have used the technique to correct mistakes in the gene that causes X-linked Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID). According to Sangamo, this could be enough to cure some SCID patients. The results appear in the online version of the journal Nature.
