Rare Bone Disorders and Tumors:
New Frontiers of Translational Research
We proudly invite you to the 2019 SBP Rare Disease Day Symposium, “Rare Bone Disorders and Tumors: New Frontiers of Translational Research,” Thursday, February 28, 2019 in La Jolla, CA. The symposium, chaired by Yu Yamaguchi, MD, PhD – Professor, Human Genetics Program, will be held at the Sanford Children’s Health Research Center at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute’s campus in La Jolla, CA.
The 10th annual SBP Rare Disease Symposium will focus on rare bone disorders and bone tumors. Diseases to be covered will include multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE/MO), fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive (FOP), Ollier disease, achondroplasia, Larsen syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma. The leaders in this field will discuss the recent progress in genetic, biological, and translational aspects of these diseases as well as the current situation of clinical trials for MHE and FOP.
