The CATS Foundation presented a poster titled “Spot the stop: A multi-channel campaign to improve early diagnosis of Tay-Sachs disease among healthcare professionals” at the WORLDSymposium in 2025. The event, held in San Diego enabled us to share our Spot the Stop project and the success this has had at raising awareness of a cherry red spot in the diagnostic process for Tay-Sachs.
