Featured Plenary Abstract Session II

This plenary session will highlight the breadth and depth of human genetic research, covering topics related to basic, clinical, and translational research. Specifically, the five talks will highlight i) how cellular models and high-throughput technologies can dissect regulatory mechanisms across biological systems, ii) the associations of complex genomic regions with human traits and diseases, and iii) understand the dynamics related to insurance coverage for germline genetic testing for hereditary cancer.

Learning Objectives

*    Evaluate functional impact of genome regulation at scale
*    Explain insurance coverage for germline genetic testing for hereditary cancer
*    Assess the effect of complex genomic regions on human health and disease
