1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, P.A.C.E.® - Educational Credits Claim by September 30

This CME Case Series reflects the work of molecular tumor boards by featuring an interdisciplinary discussion of cases that are subject to comprehensive molecular characterization using a variety of advanced technologies. In this session, cytogeneticist Dr. Betsy Hirsch, Director of the UMMC Cytogenetics Laboratory and the Masonic Cancer Center's Cytogenomics Laboratory at the University of Minnesota, will explore the underlying biology, clinical presentation, and genetic features of Fanconi anemia. Drawing on her research in chromosome instability and the cytogenomic landscape of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms, Dr. Hirsch will discuss methods for diagnosing Fanconi anemia, differentiating its subtypes, and monitoring for clinically significant clones that may signal the emergence of myelodysplastic syndrome, leukemia, or solid tumors. Through case-based discussion, participants will examine how cytogenetic and molecular findings inform diagnosis and guide clinical decision-making for patients with this condition.

Target Audience

All medical and healthcare professionals and researchers interested in understanding cancer genomic testing and somatic and germline variant interpretation methods. This series is presented as a collaboration between ClinGen Somatic, VICC, and ACMG consortia.

Agenda

Presentations followed by live Q&A. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the clinical presentation of a patient with Fanconi anemia
2. Evaluate genetic aberrations associated with Fanconi anemia
3. Apply and extrapolate concepts to use in their own practice
