Program Overview:
Although Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the most widely known of the lysosomal diseases, and treatments are available, there is still so much that needs to be addressed. This satellite session will aim to address the critical gap in diagnosing and managing bone disease in individuals with Gaucher disease, focusing on the challenges and current treatment protocols. Bone disease, though a common and debilitating aspect of GD, often remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, even during enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), due to the focus on other clinical manifestations. The session will raise awareness and promote the need for standardized protocols for monitoring bone involvement, ultimately shifting from a treatment-based approach to a personalized, patient-centered model of care for bone disease in GD.
Target Audience:
This activity is intended for healthcare professionals involved in the screening, diagnosis, management, and treatment of lysosomal diseases affecting both children and adults, with research and clinically relevant information geared specifically to the following professionals: medical and clinical geneticists; genetic counselors; pediatricians; neurologists; psychologists; nurse practitioners; physician assistants; and patient advocates.
