Excerpt

There is renewed interest in the difficulties of interpreting the role of missense variants identified in large scale medical resequencing projects made possible by next generation sequencing technologies. To assist in ascribing a role in disease causation for these variants, a combination of statistics, bioinformatic tools and, ultimately, functional studies, will be needed. Missense variants identified in highly penetrant Mendelian disorders where co-segregation studies can be performed provide a model to explore the utility of these tools.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
