Disguised: How the common phosphorus test leads to a commonly missed diagnosis in metabolic bone disease
Kyowa Kirin
Dr. Kathryn Dahir
It takes an average of 4-9 years to diagnose a patient with a rare disease. For many these patients, their journey to diagnosis often includes multiple referrals to different specialists and misdiagnoses. During this time, a patient’s symptoms, as well as the disease burden, may progress. Join Dr. Kathryn Dahir on Friday June 16th 2:30 – 3:30 PM as she presents the case studies of two patients who struggle with the symptoms of a disease commonly misdiagnosed. After this program participants will learn to identify the constellation of symptoms and red flags to enable an earlier diagnosis, and make earlier interventions.

New Generation of TSH-R-AB Bioassays: Relevance & Performance
QuidelOrtho
Mark A. Lupo, MD, Medical Director of the Thyroid & Endocrine Center of Florida, Sarasota, FL
George J. Kahaly, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Endocrinology / Metabolism, Johannes Gutenberg University Medical Center, Mainz, Germany
Description: A biological assay, or bioassay, is an analytical method used to measure the functional activity of a molecule on living organisms, tissue, or live cells. Bioassays using animal models were essential tools in the discovery of thyrotropin and in enhancing our understanding of the physiology of the pituitary-thyroid axis. These same bioassays were also instrumental in the discovery of autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R-Ab) and in identifying their role in the pathophysiology of Graves’ disease. The development of cell-based bioassays led to further advances in our knowledge of the functional activity of TSH-R-Ab and to the discovery that TSH-R-Ab can be either thyroid-stimulating or thyroid blocking, and that they occur in other types of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) besides Graves’ disease. More recently, TSH-R-Ab bioassays have been advanced from research tools to clinical laboratory tests. Whereas TSH-R-Ab can be measured with competitive-binding immunoassays, these assays do not provide information on the functional activity of TSH-R-Ab. Bioassays, in contrast, can differentiate between the stimulatory or blocking activity of TSH-R-Ab, which provides clinically useful information that can inform the management of patients with AITD. The clinical use of TSH-R-Ab bioassays, however, has been limited to-date by their inherent complexity and long turn-around-time. Recent advances in biosensors have been applied to the development of TSH-R-Ab bioassays that are rapid and simple to perform. We now are entering an era in which bioassays for TSH-R-Ab can be measured routinely by virtually any clinical laboratory.
