Please read and share this information about an upcoming ALS/FTD conference from Penn Medicine.
The Penn Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) Center is excited to open registration for our fourth annual familial conference, Uncovering the Genetics of FTD/ALS, on Wednesday, February 21st, 3:00 to 6:00 PM EST. Please register by visiting www.pennmedicine.org/FTDCFamilialConference2024. This event will take place virtually and the link will be provided once you’ve registered.
Our team understands ALS, FTD, and related disorders can impact an entire family even when just one person is diagnosed. However, we also recognize the unique challenges and situations that arise from familial or genetic diseases. We have designed this exclusive event to recognize and address these topics for people living with or at risk for a familial and/or genetic form of FTD/ALS. You will have the chance to hear from genetic counselors, neurologists, and social workers on the genetics of FTD and ALS and have the chance to ask your questions in real-time.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you virtually on February 21, 2024.
