Excerpt

We have read with interest the article by Fairley and colleagues on the phenotypic heterogeneity of N370S (c.1226A>G) homozygotes among type I Gaucher patients (Fairley et al 2008). Accordingly, it seems that N370S homozygotes, as compared with N370S compound heterozygotes, tend to express a more attenuated phenotype, although a subgroup of the former exhibited more severe clinical manifestations including severe thrombocytopenia in 9%. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
