On 22nd November, the Foundation hosted a webinar on Citrin Deficiency in Malaysia which brought together professionals from all over the country to learn more about the condition.
Barbara Yu, the Foundation’s Co-Founder and President, opened the session with an introduction to our mission, research activities, and support initiatives. This was followed by a presentation by Dr. Huey Yin Leong, Clinical Geneticist & Inherited Metabolic Disease Specialist at Kuala Lumpur Hospital which provided an insightful overview of the cohort in Malaysia and highlighted the challenges and progress in the awareness, diagnosis and management of the condition in the country.
Leading expert in the field, Professor Kimihiko Oishi, Chair of the Department of Paediatrics at Jikei University School of Medicine, Japan, delivered an excellent presentation on clinical presentations and effective management strategies for various phenotypes. The session wrapped up with a dynamic Q&A and discussion.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our speakers and attendees for their valuable contributions and look forward to working more closely with the cohort in Malaysia.
