The Second Birt-Hogg-Dubé Symposium will be held in Washington, DC on April 22, 2010. We hope to see as many BHD families and patients as possible. We have planned a full day for all family attendees. The day will include joint sessions with all other attendees, as well as some break out sessions just for families.

The cost of the day will be $50 for family members; we are subsidizing the cost of registration.

Our program includes presentations from Dr. Laura Schmidt, Dr. Berton Zbar, Lindsay Middelton ,Joyce Graff, and Dr. Frank McCormack. We will have opportunities to hear some clinical abstracts, and to participate in roundtable sessions.
