The Barth Syndrome Foundation, together with our affiliates, is a community of families, physicians, scientists, donors and volunteers around the world. As our mission statement says, we are dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment, and finding a cure for Barth syndrome - a sometimes fatal, oftentimes debilitating genetic disease. Our work includes: * Raising awareness among physicians, scientists, and the general public; * Supporting relevant research through an international grant research program; * Providing a caring and educational community for affected families; and * Hosting a unique information resource. Working together we are making a difference in the lives of children and their families. One day there will be a cure; we hope you will help us make that day come sooner. We are the only world-wide volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment and pursuit of a cure for Barth syndrome (BTHS). We started in 2000, after the first international conference held in Baltimore, MD (USA) where families from around the world met to discuss BTHS. As a result, we made a unanimous decision to work together to find a cure for this multi-system disorder. Our Foundation strives to accelerate progress through collaboration between families and scientists. We encourage family participation in research. Also, we provide several ways to keep up-to-date about advances in science and medicine. Our principal education event is our biennial international scientific, medical and family conference, which brings together the largest number of individuals interested in Barth syndrome. Our Family Services team is continually developing new informational resources in response to the needs of families, individuals, and professionals working with those affected by Barth syndrome.

The Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) aims to define community standards for data representation in proteomics to facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification. As a first step, the PSI is developing standards for two key areas of proteomics: mass spectrometry and protein-protein interaction data. The document describes the molecular interaction data exchange format. PSI is following a leveled approach to building this specification. Level 1 will describe protein interactions at a basic level that covers a large amount of currently available data. Subsequent levels will add capability to represent new molecular interaction information that the community wishes to exchange. The scope of PSI MI is currently limited to protein-protein interactions. Other molecules, such as small molecules, DNA and RNA maybe taken into account in the future. The PSI MI format is a data exchange format for protein-protein interactions. It is not a proposed database structure. The purpose of the document is to describe the general structure of the PSI MI XML specification in a more user-friendly manner than the specification does itself. PSI MI was designed by a group of people including representatives from database providers and users in both academia and industry. PSI MI is supported by the DIP, MINT, IntAct, BIND and HPRD databases.

Biorepository of tissues and fluids relevant for the neurologic, neuropsychologic, psychiatric and neuropathologic manifestations of HIV infection, linked to medical records and an on-going clinical trial for research use by the scientific community. The MHBB conducts a longitudinal, observational study that follows a group of HIV-infected individuals who have agreed to be fluid and organ donors for the purposes of AIDS research. They are currently the largest, multidisciplinary neuroAIDS cohort in New York City, the epicenter of the US HIV epidemic. Research participants undergo regular neurologic, neuropsychologic, and psychiatric evaluations, and provide body fluid samples that are linked to clinical information. Upon their demise, study participants become organ donors. This program has supplied clinical information, tissue, and fluid samples to over 70 qualified AIDS researchers across America, Europe and Australia. In fulfilling its resource mission, the MHBB functions as part of the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC). MHBB provides a means by which people living with HIV can be engaged in the struggle to improve our knowledge about HIV infection and the damage it causes to the body.
