Sihoun Hahn, MD, PhD
Seattle Children’s Hospital
It’s been Dr. Hahn’s life-long ambition to develop a newborn screening test for Wilson disease. He’s now tested his assay in over 200 patients worldwide and is on the cusp of making this a reality. Dr. Hahn updates us on his promising efforts and explains what the WD community can do to make WD newborn screening a reality so future generations can be spared the disorder’s devastating effects.
