SUMMARY:Can-GARD/CCMG – The Leading Strand Series
DESCRIPTION:This series is for genetics health professionals led by the Canadian College of Medical Genetics and co-sponsored by Can-GARD. Speakers will be translation-focused researchers\, clinicians and innovators.  The series will help attendees anticipate\, access\, and apply new approaches and technologies for patient care. \nThe Can-GARD/CCMG Leading Strand Series is a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. \nTo register\, click the button below or go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MzE5qgCSQCyPI-X9Ys7_IQ  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMitochondrial Dynamics and Genetic Neuropathy \nThe presentation will introduce the concept of mitochondrial dynamics and examine how impaired mitochondrial dynamics contributes to genetic neuropathy. Specific emphasis will be placed on CMT2A and pathogenic variants in MFN2\, how these variants impact MFN2 functions\, and additional pathogenic phenotypes associated with certain MFN2 variants. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the concept of mitochondrial dynamics and how impairment leads to disease.\nDescribe the functions performed by MFN2.\nRecognize that MFN2 variants may impact different MFN2 functions leading to phenotypic variability in CMT2A.\n\nDr. Timothy Shutt \nDr. Timothy Shutt is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Medical Genetics and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Calgary. He obtained his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Dalhousie University\, and carried-out post doctoral fellowships at Yale University and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. \nDr. Shutt’s current research focuses on human mitochondria\, essential organelles best known for generating both energy and reactive oxygen species (ROS). However\, mitochondria are also key regulators of many other important cellular functions\, and their dysfunction is implicated in a broad spectrum of human disorders and aging. Dr. Shutt’s research interests comprise two key aspects of mitochondrial function\, mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). \n2024-2025 Leading Strand from 12:00pm – 1:00pm ET\, scheduled dates are: \nFriday September 27\, 2024 \nFriday October 25\, 2024 \nFriday November 22\, 2024 \nFriday December 13\, 2024 \nFriday\, January 31\, 2025 \nFriday February 28\, 2025 \nFriday\, March 28\, 2025 \nFriday\, April 25\, 2025 \nFriday\, May 30\, 2025 \nFriday June 27\, 2025 \nFriday\, May 16\, 2025 \nFriday\, June 20\, 2025
