A Satellite of the ASHG
The Human Variome Project is an International Initiative with a goal of understanding genetic variation and using this information to improve human health through the control of genetic disease.
The programme can be seen HERE)
From meetings in Spain and Paris, a Working Group for Education was established. There is consensus that educational efforts are needed for multiple groups: researchers, physicians, patients, policy makers and the general public. This meeting will review results of a survey of HVP members and will discuss various educational issues and strategies specific to HVP activities.(SEE www.humanvariomeproject.org)
