2nd Biennial 22q11 Deletion Syndrome Symposium
This scientific conference will bring together clinicians, basic scientists, translational investigators, and disease advocates to discuss the process of how discoveries in the laboratory are translated clinically to improve the lives of children and adults with 22q11 Deletion Syndrome .
The 2019 Symposium will be comprised of the following sessions:
1. Genetics and Molecular Mechanisms of 22q11 Deletion Syndrome
2. Pleiotropic Manifestations of 22q11 Deletion Syndrome
3. Bench to Bedside - and Back
4. Disease Modeling and Therapy
