8th Variant Effect Prediction Training Course

 
  March 07, 2024  
     
 


Human Genome Organisation (HUGO), Palermo, Italy
14 - 16 Oct. 2024


 

Although NGS has revolutionised the speed of generating variation information; data analysis and variant interpretation are the most time-consuming steps. With the increase of genomic testing in diagnostics, collecting and curating evidence is necessary to determine if the identified variant has been previously found and if it had any effect.

Analysis and interpretation of variations and their effects have been aided by various computational tools however end users often do not know which method or tools to choose, and how to use these tools to their fullest potential.

This course aims to assist you to:

  • find and use the best tools for variant interpretation using various genome browsers,
  • walk you through HGVS nomenclature with opportunities to discuss difficult to name variants,
  • identify what method to apply and determine where things can go wrong in NGS,
  • classify variants using ACMG classification system and learn recent recommendations,
  • introduce you to Human Phenotype Ontology, (HPO) and learn how HPO´s can help you in variant prioritization,
  • as well as explore topics such as RNA analysis and potential consequences, the mitochondrial genome and more.


If you are interpreting DNA variants on a regular basis we will cover all the basics you need to know and more.

Organized by: Human Genome Organisation (HUGO)
Invited Speakers:

The course will take place from the 14th to the 16th of October 2024 in Palermo, Italy.

The course will be a mix of theory and practice presented by invited expert speakers. Practical sessions will be a mix of academic and commercial demonstrations giving course participants experience with genome informatics tools.

We invite you to submit an abstract (but you do not need to) and look forward to your participation at this dynamic event.
