Target Audience
All pulmonary physicians, pulmonary physician assistants, pulmonary fellows who
care for patients with respiratory disease.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• recognize and diagnose genetic lung diseases including short telomere
syndrome, primary ciliary dyskinesia, surfactant deficiency, LAM and BHD;
• better integrate new treatment options in discussing HHT, CF, or LAM with
patients;
• apply basic principles of genetics and genotype-phenotype correlation, together
with current classification of genetic variants to better interpret genetic test
results.
This course will provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the ever
increasing role of genetics in the practice of pulmonary medicine. Regardless of
background, attendees will come away from this course with a solid understanding
of the basic principles of clinical genetics. Attendees will understand when to suspect
genetic disease in patients with lung disease and will be able to determine if testing
in these patients is warranted. Attendees will learn how to interpret genetic test
results, and determine when further investigations are required. The course will
conclude with an interactive case-based session of four clinical scenarios.
