2018 KOMP2-IMPC Annual Fall Meeting

Event Details

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) hosted the Knockout Mouse Phenotyping Program (KOMP2) and International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC)'s annual meeting at the Rockville Hilton in Rockville, Maryland, on October 2, 2018.

The meeting focused on KOMP's collaborations with various human disease gene discovery programs. The day featured talks and discussions from current and potential collaborators, specifically groups focused on human genes and variants who may find KOMP data helpful for their efforts. Collaborators included the Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMG), Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed), Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) and the Undiagnosed Disease Network (UDN).
