Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket

Date: Tuesday, March 05

CME Credits: 3.00

Location: Room D237/238/239

Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Director: Julie V. Schaffer, MD, FAAD

Speakers:

Christine Ko, MD, FAAD - Handout
Dedee F. Murrell, MD, FAAD - Handout
Gabriele Richard, MD - Handout
Dawn H. Siegel, MD, FAAD
Antonio Torrelo, MD

Learning Objectives:
Following this course, the attendee should be able to:

Recognize the clinical spectrum of genetic skin disorders in pediatric and adult patients.
Identify systemic features and risks of morbidity due to cutaneous or extracutaneous manifestations associated with genodermatoses.
Utilize laboratory investigations and molecular technology to diagnose and manage patients with inherited skin disorders.

Description:
Elucidation of the genetic bases of inherited skin conditions has revised definitions, explained relationships among disorders, and expanded the limits of genodermatoses to include entities previously considered to be acquired. The interface between genetics and dermatology has broadened further with the identification of ‘new’ heritable diseases and recognition of full phenotypic spectrums, including atypical, late-onset, and mosaic manifestations. This session provides an update on cutaneous presentations and pathogenesis of genetic conditions featuring skin fragility, vascular anomalies, disordered cornification, immune dysregulation, and tumor predisposition. Recent advances in molecular diagnostics for genodermatoses and therapeutic applications of genetic discoveries will be highlighted.
