Styrene i NFMG og NSHG ser seg dessverre nødt til å avlyse årets fagmøte grunnet usikkerheten rundt corona-situasjonen. Arbeidet med fagmøtet videreføres til 2021, og ny tentativ dato er satt til 10-11 november 2021 i Bergen. Følg med på www.nshg.no for oppdateringer.
Det vil bli kalt inn til digitalt årsmøte utpå høsten.
Vi håper at situasjonen tillater et fysisk møte i 2021!
Arbeidet videreføres til 2021, i Bergen.

Arvelig hjertesykdom – endagskurs i hjertegenetikk på St. Olav den 5.11.19
Vi har lykkes å få tak i gode og erfarne genetikere og hjerteleger fra både inn- og utland til å prate om arvelige hjertesykdommer med fokus på klinikk, genetisk testing og felles utfordringer.
Hovedforeleser er Bill Newman fra Manchester som har lang erfaring både med klinisk genetikk og fra bruk av sekvenseringsteknologi.

Kurset egner seg godt for CLG utdanningen og for genetiske veiledere.
2. til 6. juni arrangeres det tredje kurset med tittelen «Introduction to the statistical analysis of genome-wide association studies».
Kurset er støttet av ESHG.
Mer informasjon finner dere her, og søknadsskjema er her
Short Course: “Introduction to the statistical analysis of genome-wide association studies”
Course Dates: 2-6 July 2018
Course Location: Department of Genomics of Common Disease, Imperial College, London, UK
Course Leader: Dr Inga Prokopenko
Course Lecturers: Dr Krista Fischer (Tartu, Estonia), Prof Andrew Morris (Oxford and Liverpool, UK) , Dr Marika Kaakinen (London, UK), Dr Reedik Mägi (Tartu, Estonia), Dr Inga Prokopenko (London, UK)
Attendance fee: (pound sterling) £850 academic /£1250 non-academic rate to include course registration fee, lunch, 5 nights’ accommodation at the Beit Hall in Central London (extra nights can be booked at own expense). If paid in full BEFORE 25 May 2018, a discount of £100 will be applied.
Fellowships: A limited number of the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) -funded scholarships are available for young scientists in training from European countries. Preference will be given to ESHG members and researchers from countries which are disadvantaged economically, although scholarships are not limited to these groups. Scholarships will cover the full attendance fee only. Deadline for applications for Fellowships: 1 May 2018.

Audience: Geneticists facing the need to analyse from small to large-scale human genotyping data in relation to their effect on common human traits and diseases. Scientists and students in training aiming to undertake SNP-based association analyses, genome-wide association studies and their meta-analyses. Researchers willing to understand better the statistical approaches and analytical procedures for the genetic association studies.
Applicants’ background: Applicants should understand basic genetic principles such as modes of inheritance, DNA and gene structure, SNPs and other genetic variants, principles of crossing over and recombination, concepts of heritability and penetrance. Additionally, knowledge of basic statistical tests and some command line scripting skills would be an advantage.
Course content: This course will enable you to analyse large-scale genetic data using standard analytical approaches and freely available software tools. The course will cover statistical background for association studies; primer on scripting in the most frequently used computational environments, design and analysis of such studies, interpretation of the results. Each topic will be covered by a lecture, followed by a practical exercise, which will include use of the state-of-art software tools and example datasets. Practical exercises will be tailored to illustrate the ideas discussed during lectures and will be accompanied by discussion of the results.
Topics covered:
Three guest lectures will be given by renowned scientists in the field of human genetics.
There will be no need to bring own laptop or data. Computers will be available at the venue; datasets will be designed and provided for each analytical exercise.
Applications and all accompanying documentation should be submitted to the Course Administrator using email: gcdshort.courses@imperial.ac.uk
