Virtual Symposium presenting cutting-edge research in Cancer Genetics

In this seminar, Nara Sobreira, PhD, MD will present tools (PhenoDB, GeneMatcher, and VariantMatcher) used to prioritize causative variants in the analysis of coding and non-coding variants when analyzing genomic data.

The March Journal Club will feature a talk on recently published science from the American Journal of Human Genetics.

Dr. Gunn will discuss findings from a study leveraging data from Million Veterans Program and All of Us Research Program to compare methods for building polygenic scores (PGS) for multi-ancestry populations across multiple traits.

Co-first authors Drs. Kullo and Nelson will present an introduction and overview of the NIH-funded PRIMED Consortium, which is working to improve polygenic risk prediction of a range of health outcomes across diverse, global populations. The presentation will cover design and rationale, organization and progress of Consortium activities, methodological innovations, and initial Consortium findings and products.
