AFTD is proud to sponsor the University of Pennsylvania FTD Center’s Virtual Familial Conference, taking place Tuesday, February 28, from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. ET. The theme of this year’s conference is “Uncovering the Genetics of FTD/ALS.”

The Penn FTD Center understands the impact a diagnosis can have on an entire family, and this virtual, live event will address the unique challenges and situations that arise from familial or genetic disease. This exclusive conference is designed to recognize and address these topics for people living with or at risk for a familial and/or genetic form of FTD/ALS. While the conference best serves the needs of persons at risk or persons diagnosed, anyone who may find value is invited to join — such as support persons, health care providers, and others. This event will give you the chance to hear from genetic counselors, neurologists, social workers, and more. Attendees are strongly encouraged to ask questions during the event and/or in advance.
