The CATS Foundation presented a poster titled “Cherry Red Spot: Evidence That Its Identification Can Speed Up The Diagnosis Of GM2 Gangliosdosis” at the WORLDSymposium in 2023. The event, held in Orlando enabled us to share our research into exploring whether identifying a cherry red spot can speed up the diagnosis process for people impacted by Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease.
About WORLDSymposium
WORLDSymposium™ is an annual research conference dedicated to lysosomal diseases. WORLD is an acronym that stands for We’re Organizing Research on Lysosomal Diseases. Since its inception as a small group of passionate researchers in 2002, WORLDSymposium has grown to an international research conference that attracts over 2000 participants from more than 50 countries around the globe. WORLDSymposium is designed for basic, translational and clinical researchers, patient advocacy groups, clinicians, and all others who are interested in learning more about the latest discoveries related to lysosomal diseases and the clinical investigation of these advances. Each year, WORLDSymposium presents the latest information from basic science, translational research, and clinical trials for lysosomal diseases.
