I am pleased to invite you to attend the Genomic Medicine Institute and Center for Personalized Genetic Healthcare’s 9th Annual Genetics Education Symposium, entitled “Genetics & Genomics: Applications for the Diagnosis and Management of Kidney Diseases.”
Top experts in the field of kidney genetics will review the latest advances in the genetics and genomics of kidney disorders and provide state-of-the-art information to healthcare providers treating patients with genetic kidney diseases. Crystal Gadegbeku, MD, chair of kidney medicine for Cleveland Clinic’s Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute, will deliver the keynote address on precision kidney medicine. Other topics include nephrotic syndrome, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and C3 glomerulopathy, Alport syndrome, ciliopathy, kidney stone disorders, autosomal dominant tubulointerstial disease, Fabry nephropathy, APOL1 and chronic kidney disease, and genetic evaluations in living kidney donors.
I am sure you will enjoy this day of education and discussion centered on our common interests in genetic and genomic medicine. Please refer to the enclosed agenda for more details about this year’s speakers and topics.
Sincerely,
