Register now for this upcoming webinar on Monday, 2 December at 1730-1830. Prof. Claus Gravholt, MD, PhD, Aarhus University Hospital Denmark will be the speaker. Hedi Claahsen, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands will chair the session.

Prof. Gravholt will present the emerging data on the genetics of Turner syndrome, which points to a much more complicated picture than hitherto with different genes on the X chromosome seemingly regulating autosomal genes and the methylation profile, which seems to subtly affect the phenotype. Differences across tissues is also present. Some phenotypic characteristics are now becoming linked to specific genetic changes. This should lead to a new view of Turner syndrome and enable a more targeted approach to treatment and possibly development of new drugs.

Attendees will be able to ask questions at the end of the webinar. Unable to attend? Register and you will receive a recording after the event.

Learning outcome: After attending the webinar attendees will have a greater understanding of Turner syndrome and be able to have a more targeted treatment approach based on the genetic testing insights.

Accreditation statement

The new genetics of Turner syndrome , 2024-12-02, Netherlands has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 1.0 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications. Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
