CPD-Accredited | Charcot-Marie-Tooth Clinical Research Update
NMD4C and MDC are pleased to invite you to a CPD-accredited webinar on Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) clinical research updates. This webinar is primarily targeted at Canadian clinicians, academics, and trainees with an interest in neuromuscular disease. This is an independent clinical/academic webinar with no industry sponsorship or influence, and NMD4C and MDC are providing organizational and technical support.
Chair:
- Dr. Jodi Warman-Chardon | Clinician-Scientist, Director of the Ottawa Neuromuscular Centre, The Ottawa Hospital; Associate Scientist, OHRI; Scientist, CHEORI | Associate Professor of Neurology, Co-Director of the Centre for Neuromuscular Disease, University of Ottawa
Speakers & Agenda:
Update on CANVAS and RFC-1 related neuropathies
- Dr. Rami Massie | Associate Professor of Neurology at McGill University | Neurologist at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Montreal General Hospital Neuropathy Clinic
CMT-SORD – from gene identification to clinical trial
- Dr. Michael Shy | Professor of Neurology, Pediatrics, and Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at University of Iowa | Director, Division of Neuromuscular Medicine, Neurology at University of Iowa Health Care
Learning Objectives:
- Review the initial description of RFC-1 related disorders and their clinical phenotype.
- Discuss the expanding phenotype of RFC-1 mutations.
- Review phenotype-genotype correlation.
- To identify the clinical phenotype of SORD.
- To promote awareness of the power of next generation sequencing in rare disorders.
- To demonstrate the role of biomarkers in diagnosing CMT-SORD.
