Practical Workshops

Delegates will be split into two groups for the practical workshops: Workshop Stream A and Workshop Stream B.  You need to stay in your group throughout the Course.   

ACMG Workshop - We encourage you to bring your difficult to classify variants with you to work on during the workshop.

HGVS Nomenclature Workshop - We encourage you to bring any variants you are having trouble naming with you to the workshop.

HPO Workshop - If you are unclear about how to describe a phenotype using HPO, bring it with you to the workshop.

The experts are there to help you throughout the Course, please make time to meet with them.

Delegates must bring their own laptop to participate in the course.
