EDUCATION
Familial WM Research from the Frontlines
IWMF Global Educational Webinar
Monday, April 15, 2024, at 1:00PM EDT
Join us on April 15th for a one-hour presentation and Q&A session, which will cover information and updates about familial research being conducted at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Susan L. Slager, Ph.D., investigates the inherited genetic basis of lymphoma, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Dr. Slager leads the Mayo Clinic B-cell lymphoma family registry, in which more than 500 families (including relatives) have consented to participate. These families are followed over time to better understand why relatives from these families have a higher risk of lymphoma (regardless of lymphoma subtype) than the general population.
