The Foundation sponsored a Citrin Deficiency (CD) symposium at the 64th JSIMD Annual Meeting in Osaka. The CD symposium was co-chaired by Johannes Häberle and Kimitoshi Nakamura. Our Co-founder, Barbara Yu, delivered a presentation that highlighted the new CD research initiatives and progress made by the Foundation. Johannes Häberle discussed the pre-clinical requirements for improving the management of CD. Kimitoshi Nakamura presented on the role of the CD Center of Excellence. Finally, Ituro Inoue closed the session with a presentation about the dysregulation of gene expression in liver samples from CTLN2 patients. Additionally, the Foundation co-hosted a CD luncheon with Kimitoshi Nakamura, where many prominent regional clinicians with an interest in CD attended, further advancing our goals.
