45th SIMD Annual Meeting

Poster Presentation: “The Model of Citrin Deficiency: Adopting a New Approach to Rare Disease”

In April, we attended the 45th Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (SIMD) Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Foundation presented a poster titled “The Model of Citrin Deficiency: Adopting a New Approach to Rare Disease” and sponsored a booth offering informational materials on CD and the Foundation to both professionals and patients.

Through our participation, we identified more patients across North America, a number we expect to increase as we continue to expand our outreach within the medical community. Importantly, we also forged new relationships with major industry partners and patient advocacy groups, and gained a better understanding of the drug development and regulatory approval process in the US. These crucial developments will undoubtedly contribute towards our goal of finding effective therapies for CD.

The Foundation also prepared patient and clinician booklets which you may view here:
