Recorded in São Paolo, Brazil
Watch the webcast that was recorded in São Paolo with regional experts Dr Alexander Jorge and Professor Ana Claudia Latronico. We discussed the translational advances in Latin America and how an improved understanding of the genetics have contributed to the diagnostics and treatment of growth and puberty disorders.
Chaired by Professor Martin Savage, this interactive independent medical education webcast focuses on managing growth and puberty disorders, specifically in a Latin American setting. Our panel of international experts presented and discussed the role of genetic contributions in paediatric endocrine disorders, growth disorders, abnormal puberty, short stature and central precocious puberty.
