15th International Symposium on Variants in the Genome

 
  March 19, 2024  
     
 


Human Genome Organisation, Porto, Portugal
12 - 15 May 2024


We are excited to welcome you back in-person to the 15th International Symposium on Variants in the Genome that will be held 13th - 15th May 2024. The symposium will be preceeded on the 12th May by an optional workshop day. This biennial conference (previously known as the Mutation Detection meeting series) focuses on cutting-edge developments for scanning, sequencing, databasing, and bioinformatics analysis of variants in DNA, RNA, and protein. With technology setting the pace, understanding how variants effect the health of an individual has become crucial and is quickly changing the way genomic data is interpreted. This symposium will also give special emphasis to the capabilities and methods for functional testing and classification of genomic variants related to disease.

Invited leading scientists from around the world and speakers invited from submitted abstracts after peer review will present their research in plenary sessions. The meeting will also include interactive workshops on topics related to clinical interpretation of variants, data collection and variation nomenclature; where you can practice your skills with instructional leaders and scientific professionals. The Symposium of Variants in the Genome provides an excellent platform, motivating participants to share knowledge and network with international experts in all areas of human genetics.

We therefore invite you to submit your abstracts as soon as possible, and encourage you to travel to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage city of Porto, Portugal to learn and participate at this dynamic meeting.


We look forward to welcoming you all in 2024!

Workshop Day

We have organized an optional workshop day on Sunday, May 12th 2024, just before the symposium. Attendees have the flexibility to include this day as part of their symposium registration or opt to attend it separately.
