NON-CODING GENOME AND HUMAN DISEASE
Recent developments in genomic technologies have enabled the genome-wide identification of regulatory elements and chromatin interactions, controlling the spatiotemporal gene expression. In this webinar, we will explore the significant involvement of non-coding genome in various human diseases, a rapidly evolving field of human genomics.

GENETICS AND UNIQUE POPULATIONS: THE CASE OF THE FINNISH, ROMA & IRISH TRAVELLERS
Europe is made up of many different populations both indigenous to Europe and those that migrated in over the centuries. Differing barriers in healthcare access means that rare and ultra rare disorders may cluster within some of these populations. Some have unique cultural norms that may differ from the general population or may face more difficulty in finding their way to healthcare professionals. It is important for clinicians working with these populations to develop an understanding of the unique issues faced by populations within their locality. How do we reach these communities, and how can the EU help reduce access barriers? This webinar answers these questions by exploring the EU context and the unique needs of these populations.

REPRODUCTIVE GENETIC CARRIER SCREENING (V1)
Genomic sequencing technology allows for identification of reproductive couples with an increased chance, as compared with that in the general population, of having a child with an autosomal recessive or X-linked genetic condition. As reproductive genetic carrier screening is being implemented inconstantly throughout Europe, it is time to review and discuss where the main medical, technical and ethical stakes stand.
