Forward47th Annual Carrell Krusen Neuromuscular Symposium (RP2502C)
This symposium is a clinical education experience for members of multidisciplinary teams who care for patients with rare, complex neuromuscular diseases including hereditary muscular dystrophies, motor neuron disorders, peripheral autoimmune disorders (such as inflammatory myopathies, neuropathies, myasthenia gravis), and rare genetic disorders of nerve, neuromuscular junction, and muscle. Case presentations will include physical diagnosis and discussion of management and new therapies by participating experts. All discussions involve active participation by attendees. The educational format for this activity includes didactic lectures with in depth Q&A, panel discussions, and PowerPoint Presentations. The content of the program is identified and developed through a Call for Abstracts process. The 2025 keynote speaker will present a formal lecture on congenital myopathies, a group of ultra-rare, single gene disorders that he has studied for 3 decades. He has been a leader in gene discovery for these disorders and a pioneer in developing therapies.
