At the request of the Association Française des Syndromes de Marfan et Apparentés (AssoMarfans), Ludivine has recorded a video, and we're organizing several webinar sessions to help people who want to join the GEMS study (https://www.101gems.be/site). Here is the e-mail sent by AssoMarfans to its members:

Advance Marfan syndrome research from the comfort of your home!

All you have to do is watch the video. video below and if you still have questions, sign up for a webinar.

Would you like to take part in the search for modifier genes to advance Marfan syndrome research by joining the GEMS study, but don't know how? 

In collaboration with 101 Génomes, the Marfans Association invites you to participate in a webinar during which Romain or Ludivine will guide you through the various stages of the process of joining GEMS research.
