ICCBH Congress Review 2024\n<\/h2>\n

The 11th International Conference on Children\u2019s Bone Health took place in Salzburg, Austria, from 22\u201325 June 2024 and was attended by 470 delegates from over 45 countries.<\/p>\n

In this congress review, we have highlighted the key
\nabstracts from ICCBH, focusing on the clinical data
\non vosoritide\u25bc and other therapies in development for
\nachondroplasia; as well as multidisciplinary management;
\nand the importance of following up infants with spinal cord
\ncompression rated AFMS3. There is also a brief summary
\nof the ISCBH ERN BOND workshop.<\/p>\n

We hope you find this summary of the congress useful. <\/strong>

ACMG 2024 12-16 March 2024\n<\/h2>\n

The 30th American College of Medical Genetics and
\nGenomics (ACMG) Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting took
\nplace in Toronto, Canada, from 12th\u201316th March 2024.
\nAttended by geneticists from around the world, this year\u2019s
\nmeeting saw achondroplasia on the programme in the
\nform of a debate featuring Dr Janet Legare and Dr Julie
\nHoover-Fong discussing whether all patients should be
\nstarted on vosoritide\u25bc.<\/p>\n

We have highlighted the key abstracts from the congress,
\nfocusing on achondroplasia and new clinical data on
\nvosoritide, real-world analysis of double heterozygosity
\nin skeletal dysplasia, and the importance of genetic
\ncounselling in helping families make informed decisions
\nduring prenatal diagnostic testing.<\/p>\n

We hope you find this selection of summaries useful!<\/strong>

ESPE 2023-21-23 September 2023\n<\/h2>\n

The 61st annual meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) took place in The Hague, Netherlands, from 21\u201323 September 2023. The theme for the meeting was Global Challenges in Paediatric Endocrinology, which included sessions on growth, as well as bone, growth plate, and mineral metabolism.<\/p>\n

We have picked out abstracts with a focus on children with achondroplasia. This includes new clinical data, real-world analyses, and a look at the underlying genetics. Also summarised is a sponsored symposium, looking at integrating clinical and real-world evidence to improve strategies.<\/p>\n

We hope this selection of summaries is useful to you, and perhaps shines a light on ways in which we can address global challenges in our own small corner of endocrinology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ACMG 2023-14-18 March 2023\n<\/h2>\n

March 2023 saw the Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting take place in Salt Lake City, US, attended by delegates from around the world. Across more than 50 educational sessions, presenters shared news about the latest developments in medical genetics.<\/p>\n

Year on year the volume of data around achondroplasia at meetings like this is growing, alongside increasing awareness and understanding of the condition. We have chosen a handful of key abstracts presented in the session on clinical genetics and therapeutics. This includes data from the Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials of vosoritide , as well as real-world observational data that shines a spotlight on quality of life and the surgical burden associated with achondroplasia.<\/p>\n

We hope you will enjoy the selection summarised for you here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ESPE 2022-15-17 September 2022\n<\/h2>\n

The 60th annual meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology took place 15\u201317 September in Rome, Italy. Over 3,000 delegates attended for a huge programme on diseases of childhood, including dedicated sessions on bone, growth, and mineral metabolism. We have chosen a selection of abstracts with a focus on achondroplasia and a few other topics of interest in the wider field of skeletal dysplasia. These include new analyses of appropriate patient-reported outcomes to use in children with achondroplasia, and examination of differences in everyday management.<\/p>\n

Also summarised is a sponsored symposium giving more detail on some of the early-use, real-world cohorts of patients receiving vosoritide in routine practice across Europe.<\/p>\n

We hope you will enjoy the selection of presentations summarised for you here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ICCBH 2022-02-05 July 2022\n<\/h2>\n

The 10th International Conference on Children\u2019s Bone Health took place in Dublin from 2\u20135 July 2022. The meeting brought together scientists, clinicians, and allied health professionals from a variety of disciplines to gain a better understanding of the growing skeleton in health and disease, with leading experts delivering new insights into both molecular mechanisms and a range of clinical aspects, from bone physiopathology to treatment.<\/p>\n

As always, it is encouraging to see groups sharing posters and oral communications on the natural history and treatment of achondroplasia, which hopefully will translate into greater awareness and understanding of the condition.<\/p>\n

EPOS 2021\n<\/h2>\n

Our review of EPOS 2021 includes summaries of many advances in the treatment and management of achondroplasia. Our summaries include new technologies to improve limb lengthening, a complex procedure with a high complication rate and no consensus on its use in achondroplasia, but one that could result in height enhancement in adults with achondroplasia, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

ACMG 2021\n<\/h2>\n

There were several interesting posters and an oral presentation presented during the meeting which covered key areas for the achondroplasia clinical community. The impact of the condition was discussed in two posters from the LIAISE study, focusing on the burden to individuals and their families. Details from the Achondroplasia Caregiver Survey reinforced the issue of healthcare utilisation and highlighted inconsistency of care globally.<\/p>\n

Data from Australia demonstrated an apparent increase in prevalence and a decrease in the time to diagnosis in the last 20 years, and two posters on skeletal dysplasia suggested that gene panel testing may support accurate and timely diagnosis. Promising data from the extension study of the VOXZOGO\u00ae<\/sup> (vosoritide) Phase 2 trial demonstrated an increase in AGV over 60 months and that the treatment was well tolerated.<\/p>\n

It is encouraging to see a breadth of posters on achondroplasia and new therapies, which hopefully will translate into greater awareness and understanding of the condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our review of ESPE 2021 highlights the latest in basic science, novel therapies, multidisciplinary team management, and recent findings around genetic characteristics and biomarkers.<\/p>\n

Also included are summaries of the data presented for novel therapies such as infigratinib, TransCon CNP and the recently approved Voxzogo\u00ae\u25bc (vosoritide).<\/p>\n

We are delighted to bring you these latest data, and hope this report helps you to stay up-to-date with the current developments in this field.<\/strong><\/p>\n
