Description |
|
| We are pleased to announce the 7th Curating the Clinical Genome conference, which aims to bring together the international clinical genomics and biodata communities to discuss best practices for the clinical use of genomic data, including variant interpretation, clinical utility, and the consensus generation of curated knowledge. The sharing of genetic data from clinical diagnostic testing and the generation of consensus-curated knowledge is vital for delivering on the promise of genomic medicine. The growing recognition of the power of global data sharing has led to the establishment of major initiatives, such as ClinGen and DECIPHER consortia, which have spearheaded this conference series. This year’s meeting focuses on bringing together these and other national/regional initiatives to develop common standards (guidelines and resources), share best practices, integrate the recent research findings and help drive patient benefits. Discussions will focus on a variety of exciting topics, including: • Genetic architecture and locus heterogeneity • Genetic pleiotropy and allelic heterogeneity • Non-coding variation and polygenic risk scores • Computational approaches • Functional assays • Variant classification recommendations • Iterative reporting (panel discussion) We aim to organise this meeting as a hybrid conference – with on-site or virtual attendance. If you would like to be part of these discussions – consider submitting an abstract by 16 May 2023 and registering by 13 June (in-person) or 3 July (virtual) 2023. |
