GWAS 2014: Genome Variation in Precision Medicine

GWAS 2014: Genome Variation in Precision Medicine

Conference - Beijing, China

While GWAS and epigenomics have gone a long way to map the regulatory variation in the human genome that is relevant to medical traits and epidemiological risk of disorders, sequencing based strategies are increasingly employed to dig ever deeper into the full spectrum of common, low frequency and rare variation that contributes to health and disease. At the same time, international consortia are making inroads into the constitutional and somatic variation that drives a range of cancers. This meeting provides a forum to connect these promising discoveries with the very practical need to develop from genomics a causal understanding of pathogenesis and mechanisms of diseases. At the same time, we expect to find therapeutic targets and biomarkers for improving clinical practice and public health. This is the meeting in which to coordinate this field and to have these discussions.
