On Tuesday March 2nd at 17:00 – 18:00 CET an Endo-ERN webinar about “Molecular diagnostic testing of imprinting disorders and related growth disturbances” is organised. The Endo-ERN webinar will be held by Prof Thomas Eggermann from University Hospital Aachen, Germany.

Molecular diagnostic testing imprinting disorders and related growth disorders is challenging due to the broad spectrum of molecular defects. Additionally, the decision on the molecular testing algorithm is hindered by the clinical heterogeneity of these entities. However, the precise identification of the nature of the defect is often a prerequisite for the clinical management and genetic counselling. With the [...]

The WorldMEN meeting has something different compared to all the other classical meetings: it was first created to allow for intense discussions about the discovery of the genetic etiologies of tumor syndrome in 1984. Over the last years, the WorldMEN meetings expanded the scope of their participants to a wide audience of endocrinologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, geneticists and more, all concerned by the diagnosis and management not only of multiple endocrine neoplasia, endocrine tumor syndromes and the various diseases they include (Von Hippel Lindau disease, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, pituitary tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, neurofibromatosis, calcium disorders…), but also endocrine cancers in [...]

Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February each year. The main objective of Rare Disease Day is to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives.

The campaign targets primarily the general public and also seeks to raise awareness amongst policy makers, public authorities, industry representatives, researchers, health professionals and anyone who has a genuine interest in rare diseases.

Building awareness of rare diseases is so important because 1 in 20 people will live with a rare disease at some point in their life. Despite this, there [...]
