  • 1.00 Participation
$0.00
This is the sixth event in the series, "Creating a successful research program: Combining great mentorship with compelling science and building a diverse and inclusive research environment." This series of presentations with interactive discussions brought to you through a partnership between the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the American Neurological Association (ANA).
ANA Highlights: Clinical Utility of Neurogenetics
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 2.00 Participation
$0.00
This course reviews the journey from testing to prognosis to treatment/prevention to advocacy, testing children vs adults, clinical trials, why test, how to find trials, and a review of what treatments are available. Dr. Jennifer L Orthmann-Murphy, Assistant Professor of Neurology and Co-Director of Age Span Fellowship in MS/Neuroinflammatory Disorders at the University of Pennsylvania is the lead for this module.
ANA Highlights: Emerging Issues in Neurogenetics
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 2.00 Participation
$0.00
The course is an overview of genetic testing research, variants of uncertain significance, role of somatic mosaicism in neurological diseases, the role of big data in tackling brain disorders of children and adults, pharmacogenomics and importance of genetic diversity in research toward clinical utility in neurology. Dr. M. Elizabeth Ross, Nathan Cummings Professor and Head, Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Development, Director, Center for Neurogenetics at Weill Cornell Medicine is the lead for this module.
ANA Highlights: Introduction to Genetics
  • 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 1.50 Participation
$0.00
The course is a primer for the practicing clinician and includes discussion about: the importance of family history and phenotype to accurate genetic diagnosis, e.g., when to order microarrays, disease gene panels, vs. whole exome vs. whole genome sequencing, use of specialized tests (i.e. suspected mosaicism, nucleotide repeat disorders), and pedigree analysis. Dr. Andrea Gropman, Chief of Neurogenetics and Neurodevelopmental Pediatrics and Attending Neurologist at Children’s National is the lead for this module.
ANA Highlights: Ethical Considerations in Neurogenetics
