The Genomics of Common Diseases Annual Conference
October 6-9, 2010
Cullen Building, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA
The availability of whole-genome association studies and emerging 'next-generation' sequencing technologies are redefining the genetic architecture of common diseases, revealing new susceptibility genes and offering new clues about mechanisms for a wide range of health disorders. The strategic focus of common disease genetics is progressing from the identification of susceptibility genes - with remarkable successes in the last two years - to understanding the extent to which rare and common variants explain inherited susceptibility to common diseases, to discovery of new disease mechanisms, and to pioneer and evaluate transfer of these advances through to potential clinical application.
The fourth annual conference supported by the Wellcome Trust and Nature Genetics, will aim to address the following topics, across a range of common diseases:
* Translational genetics and pharmacogenomics
* Animal models and new genomic tools
* From GWAS to mechanism
* Personal genomes, ethics and databases
* Cancer genomics
* Epigenomics and disease mechanisms
* Population and statistical genetics
* Whole genome and targeted resequencing
