The pre-conference workshop on “Clinical Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)” is one of the most comprehensive genomic diagnostics & research tools available today.
This workshop will cover key aspects of WGS – clinical utility & its limitations in clinical practice (both short read vs long read WGS), and variant interpretation using ACMG guidelines.
Real-life case discussions will highlight the diagnostic utility of WGS in rare diseases especially undiagnosed conditions.
Participants can expect a blend of didactic lectures, interactive sessions, and hands-on exposure to data interpretation frameworks.
This is a valuable opportunity to enhance analytical skills, engage with peers, foster meaningful professional networking and collaborative opportunities among participants.
Participants are strongly encouraged not to miss this opportunity to learn directly from leading experts in the field of genomic medicine.
The workshop is designed for clinical geneticists, genetic counsellors, paediatricians, neurologists, pathologists, physicians, laboratory scientists, etc and postgraduate students with an interest in genomic medicine.
It is particularly suited for participants with prior experience in the analysis and interpretation of clinical exome sequencing data.
The program will be especially valuable for clinicians and researchers engaged in the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders, as well as for those seeking to incorporate advanced genomic technologies into clinical practice and translational research.
"We warmly invite eligible participants to join this workshop and take advantage of an interactive learning environment and expert-led discussions."
Prof. Dr. Christian Gilissen, Prof. Dr. Julia Foreman, and others
