We were very proud to host our 3rd International Symposium on APS Type 1 as a part of the Immune Deficiency Foundation’s (IDF) Annual Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, USA. In addition to presentations on the latest findings from the NIH’s natural history study, we held presentations on the challenges of puberty in APS Type 1 and managing adrenal insufficiency and hypoparathyroidism in emergencies and for planned procedures. Our group also benefitted from the presentations at the larger IDF conference.
We had an incredible Symposium in 2017 in Stony Brook, New York, USA. Hosted by Sherri and David Seyfert, along with their family and friends, we enjoyed world-class presentations at the beautiful facilities at Stony Brook University. Highlights included talks on eye care, malabsorption, the role of the thymus in APS Type 1, and connecting APS Type 1 research to other diseases, such as Type 1 Diabetes.
The 1st International Symposium on APS Type 1 was held at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, Canada. Over 20 families joined with speakers from across the U.S., Canada and Europe. Highlights included a problem-solving panel discussing the challenges that occur in managing endocrine symptoms combined with malabsorption, autoimmune hepatitis in APS Type 1, the biology and immunology of AIRE, and growing up with APS Type 1.
