INTERPRETATION OF GENOMIC TEST RESULTS A two day multi-disciplinary workshop with a focus on the interpretation of genomic test results for endocrine, germline cancer and inherited cardiac conditions
3rd and 4th March 2020 Day 1: 10:00 – 17:00 Rougemont Hotel Day 2: 09:30 – 16:30 Reed Hall, University of Exeter EXETER.AC.UK/MEDICINE
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE The participants will be able to: 1. Describe the basic concepts of using next generation sequencing technologies to identifying rare genomic variants 2. Understand the different approaches to genomic data filtering and variant prioritisation 3. Select appropriate genome browsers, databases and in silico tools to gather pertinent information for variant classification and interpretation in the context of the clinical presentation (e.g. gnomAD, DECIPHER, Ensembl and Alamut) 4. Describe the principles of the ACGS version of the American College of Medical Genetics variant interpretation guidelines and the way these are currently applied within the Genomic Laboratory Hubs and Genomic Medicines Centres 5. Recognise the importance of conducting variant interpretation in the context of the phenotype as described by human phenotype ontology (HPO) terms 6. Describe the role of the genomic MDT in variant interpretation and apply this learning in the workplace
