Wellcome Trust Scientific Conferences, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Cambridge
24-27 March 2010
Building on the success of the annual Wellcome Trust Scientific Conference Genomic Disorders meetings held at Hinxton since 2007, Genomic Disorders 2010 presents an exciting blend of genomic science and clinical medicine. Our meeting aims to bring together scientists and clinicians interested in genomic variation and its phenotypic effects. The pace of change accelerated during 2009 with the first studies using whole exome sequencing approaches to identify mutations causing genetic syndromes This year’s meeting will discuss the latest findings relating to the genomic basis of human variation, congenital disorders and acquired diseases including complex traits. Highlights of this year’s programme include an overview of whole genome approaches to the study of genetic diseases, presentations on normal variation and mechanisms of genomic disorders, transcriptional control, models of genomic disorders and opportunities for therapy.
