Genetics for the Endocrinologist: A Clinical Approach to the Application of Genetic Testing in Endocrine Conditions
Thursday, April 25, 2024 | 19:00-21:00 ET | Online Session - Microsite
This 2-hour practical Knowledge Transfer Activity is the first of our series "Genetics for The Endocrinologist". This session will increase the endocrinologist’s comfort in recognizing familial genetic conditions and developing an approach to interpreting the results of genetic testing and variants of unknown significance.
Join us as Dr. Jane Green, Clinical Geneticist at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and a recipient of the Order of Canada for her ground-breaking work with the founder families in Newfoundland, and Dr. Ari Morgenthau, University of Toronto, who is jointly trained in both Endocrinology and Genetics, lead this Section 3 self-assessment program.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Develop a clinical approach to detecting familial conditions in endocrine patients, such as MEN1.
- Develop an approach to reviewing and applying genetic test results, using MEN syndromes as an example.
- Determine how to investigate variances of unknown significance and best practices in following patients.
