Event Information
This symposium focuses on the use of biomarkers to diagnose, treat, and monitor patients with Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSDs). Short scientific presentations set the stage to review a series of LSD patient cases that have unexpected clinical twists. Attendees will be immersed in the evolution of biomarkers in LSDs, exploring emerging strategies to track disease progression and therapeutic response, gaining skills on clinical decision-making and personalization efforts in GD, MPS II, and MLD.
This educational Satellite Symposia is not a part of the official ACMG Annual Meeting program. ACMG does not approve or endorse any commercial products or services discussed during the session or offered for sale by the organizer of the event.
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the history and evolution of biomarkers in the diagnosis and monitoring of Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSDs)
- Appraise the value of new and emerging disease-specific biomarkers to detect early pathologies, track disease progression, and monitor response to therapy
- Evaluate how omics-driven biomarker development strategies can support clinical decision-making and personalization efforts in GD (Gaucher disease), MPS II (Mucopolysaccharidosis type II), and MLD (Metachromatic leukodystrophy)
In support of improving patient care, The France Foundation is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the health care team.Agenda
