Genomics-Informed Government Policy: Starting the Conversation with Policymakers

Sponsored by the ACMG Advocacy and Government Affairs Committee

2:00pm-3:00pm ET

Description:

Explore the intersection of genomics, public policy, and ethics in this on-demand webinar featuring insights from leaders in science, government, and public service. As genomics increasingly informs patient care and public health, genetics professionals play a crucial role in guiding policymakers on issues such as equitable access, regulatory oversight, and fostering public trust.

Panelists share firsthand perspectives from Capitol Hill, federal agencies, and the medical field, offering practical strategies for effectively engaging with policymakers and shaping genomics-informed policies. This session is ideal for genetics professionals, health policy leaders, and advocates seeking to bridge the gap between scientific advances and policy implementation.

A Nutrition Focused Approach to Team-Based Care in Metabolic Genetics: Integrating Clinical, Laboratory, and Nutrition Expertise

An educational offering sponsored by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) with contributions from Genetic Metabolic Dietitians International (GMDI)

2:00pm-3:30pm ET

This session will explore the pathophysiology of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) focusing on the main clinical presentations and treatments for select disorders.  Case studies will be used to highlight risks for decompensation and necessary interventions.  The audience will appreciate the essential role of nutrition therapy in the management of IEMs in addition to barriers to treatment approaches.  This session will also familiarize the audience with the scope of the metabolic dietitian in the interdisciplinary metabolic team, as well as resources for the emergency and nutrition management of inborn errors of metabolism.

Expanding Phenotypes of Female Heterozygotes in X-Linked Neurogenetic Conditions

Sponsored by The Education and Professional Development Committee

2:00pm-3:00pm ET

Description:

This session explores the evolving understanding of X-linked neurogenetic conditions in female heterozygotes. Experts will highlight how variable X-inactivation leads to diverse clinical presentations in females, challenging traditional classifications of X-linked disorders. Case studies and research findings on conditions such as OTC deficiency, DMD, X-ALD, and PDHA1-related PDC deficiency will be discussed, along with updates in terminology related to sex and gender in medical genetics.

It’s All About the Vitamins [B]aby!

Sponsored by The Education and Professional Development Committee

2:00pm-3:00pm ET

Description:

This session will explore the essential functions of vitamins—particularly B vitamins—as metabolic cofactors and their significance in maintaining health. Through a series of case-based examples, we will examine how vitamin deficiencies can mimic inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs), and how supratherapeutic dosing of select B vitamins can be employed as targeted therapies.
