Case Based Webinar Series

12:00-1:00pm CT
NSGC is pleased to announce the launch of a new case-based webinar series, to be held quarterly. Each session will feature four case presentations, each lasting approximately 10-12 minutes, followed by a 10-12 minute Q&A segment.
If you have a case that you believe would be a strong fit for this format, we invite you to submit this survey by April 17.
Submitting a Case
Please submit a concise and comprehensive case description that includes the following elements:
- The patient’s chief complaint or indication for genetic evaluation.
- Any personal history relevant to this indication, including (when applicable) the onset and progression of symptoms, relevant pathology and age at diagnosis. Include the results of any prior evaluations pertinent to the case, such as imaging, laboratory studies or previous genetic testing.
- Describe the relevant family history, highlighting features that inform genetic risk assessment.
- Present the differential diagnosis, with a brief rationale for each condition considered and an explanation of why the patient’s history raises suspicion for these diagnoses.
- Conclude with the overall assessment and a proposed plan for future testing, noting results if they are already available.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Mae Capaldi at mcapaldi@nsgc.org.
