The 2003 meeting has been a great success ! Thank you very much, Clair Francomano and Team, for having everything arranged so nicely. The scientific presentations were just excellent, the cocktail between molecular biology and biochemistry, clinical aspects, radiology and animal studies was perfect. As for the social part, take a look at the pictures. Last but not least, thank you Christine (Hall) for organizing the Diagnostic Contest. The team composed of McAlister/Poznanski/Sillence/Smithson/Unger won over the two other teams, Cormier/LeMerrer/Mortier/Superti-Furga and Krakow/Lachman/Rimoin/Savarirayan/etc.
