CSER consortium research, including oral platform presentations, posters, and scientific session presentations, will be featured at the American Society of Human Genetics 2017 Annual Meeting. This annual meeting is a forum for sharing and discussing the lastest research in human genetics, and features topics such as returning sequencing results to patients, diversity in genomics research, cancer genetics, gene expression, and more. The ASHG 2017 annual meeting will run from October 17 - 21 2017, in Orlando, Flrodia.
To aid all ASHG 2017 attendees, numerous resources are available, such as an online planner and events schedule. The CSER Twitter account will also be tweeting about ASHG 2017, so feel free to mention @hail_CSER to connect.
A full list of CSER work at ASHG 2017 can be found online here. Below is a sampling of CSER projects that will be showcased at ASHG 2017:
Wednesday, Oct 18 2017
Posters. Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm. Location: Exhibit Hall 1, Orange County Convention Center
- Kyle Brothers (CSER site: HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology) is presenting a poster summarizing results from the HudsonAlpha CSER1 study, concluding that parents of children with intellectual disability may receive greater utility from genomic sequencing if it is performed earlier in a child's life (poster abstract #529/W).
- Laura Amendola (CSER1 site: University of Washington) is presenting a poster highlighting common reasons for patients to decline participation in CSER1 research (poster abstract #550/W).
Thursday, Oct 19 2017
Presentation. Time: 9:45am - 10:00am. Location: Room 230C, Orange County Convention Center
Posters. Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm. Location: Exhibit Hall 1, Orange County Convention Center
- Natasha Strande (CSER site: University of North Carolina) is presenting a poster detailing experiences from the CSER1 NCGenes study in returning secondary findings beyond the ACMG recommendations, highlighting lessons learned during the entire process, from returning secondary findings to follow-up (poster abstract #2561/T).
- Katrina Goddard (CSER site: Kaiser Permanente Northwest) is presenting a poster summarizing results from the CSER1 NextGen study that conducted expanded carrier screening in preconception families, highlighting experiences and implications for future research (poster abstract #536/T).
Friday, Oct 20 2017
Invited Presentation. Clinical Spotlight: Translational Genomics: Psychological and Health Behavior Research Outcomes. Time: 2:30pm - 4:30pm. Location: Room 220B, Orange County Convention Center
- Barbara Biesecker (CSER site: ClinSeq), Stacy Gray (CSER1 site: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), and David Veenstra (CSER1 site: University of Washington) will be presenting on various experiences in CSER1, such as the psychological and healthcare resource utlization outcomes of genomic sequencing, in an invited presentation session.
