This week, SCAD Alliance celebrated our 12th anniversary with a very special “Ask the Experts” conversation. Following introductions by SCAD Alliance executive director Katherine K. Leon, Dr. Esther Kim and Dr. Mark Lindsay answered a range of patient questions and addressed related topics to explain the genetics of SCAD. We also celebrated our recent news: SCAD Alliance has partnered with Dr. Lindsay and his colleagues at the Broad Insitute of MIT and Harvard as they conduct the gVasc (genetics of vascular disease) Study.
