Recent News & Updates
AHC Update at Lurie Childen’s Hospital
Our Medical Advisory Board members, Dr. Sho Yano and Dr. Ken Silver, did a joint presentation on May 4, 2024, on the latest information on AHC related to ATP1A3 at Lurie Children’s Hospital for the Neurology department. They did a great job introducing the complexities of ATP1A3 and educating the staff about AHC. One topic of note – the time it takes to diagnose an AHC patient now is measured in weeks vs. the years it took when Dr. Silver started 20 years ago.
