Participants will be presented with the newest developments within the epidemiology, genetics and genomics, medicinal development and diagnostics tools within the realm of rare endocrine diseases. The symposium will cover areas that are currently moving from the research arena to the clinical arena. As such, the symposium will provide up-to-date information both concerning clinical development and also new research tools currently being applied within endocrine research.
