Evolving Our Understanding of Pompe Disease – Data Driven Insights
Title: Evolving our understanding of Pompe DiseaseA rare genetic disease in which the body cannot properly break down glycogen, leading to buildup tha... More – data driven insights
Date: Wednesday, February 26, 2025
Time: 1 PM CT / 2 PM ET
Speaker:
Ryan Colburn
Webinar Overview:
An overview of how NBS enabled significant updates to Pompe epidemiology (Prevalence, etc), and how the strength of this data enables an improved foundation for evolving our understanding of Pompe around the world, and across the full spectrum of disease. We’ll also cover how this foundation relates to other important topics, including some previously covered in this webinar series such as: ABC’s of Pompe, Disease Management in the NBS era, Treatment development, Emerging research, etc.
