(MOUNT LAUREL, NJ, October 13, 2019) — When Madeleine C. Klein takes her place at today’s poster session of the 144th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA), she will be the third generation of women in her family to do so.
The pre-med student, together with her mother, Anne Louise Oaklander, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Nerve Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, are presenting competitive late-breaking abstract LBA-S313: “Normalizing Sodium-channel Firing in Small-fiber Neuropathy from SCN9A-variant May Improve Axonopathy Along with Symptoms.”
The paper describes the progress that Oaklander’s lab has made since 2013 in diagnosing and treating small-fiber polyneuropathy, which runs through the Soares family of Uxbridge, MA.
