Event Details

In partnership with The Balm In Gilead and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, the goal of this webinar is to provide education about hereditary ATTR (hATTR) amyloidosis, a rare condition disproportionately affecting African Americans.

Join us to hear from Dr. Ugochukwu Egolum, a cardiologist at The Heart Center of Northeast Georgia Medical Center, a healthcare professional experienced in the management of hATTR amyloidosis and Giselle, a patient living with this rare, genetic disease.

Approximately 1 in 25 (4%) of African Americans have a certain genetic variant associated with hATTR amyloidosis. Learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of the disease, how it’s passed down, and where to find additional educational resources.
