We are pleased to announce the 2026 international “Dysmorphology Summer”, which will take place on August 20–22, 2026 in Palanga, Lithuania.
This annual meeting has deep traditions of bringing together clinical geneticists, medical geneticists, neonatologists, and other specialists working with rare diseases and syndromology. Participants review challenging diagnostic dilemmas, and explore the latest advances in diagnostic and treatment possibilities in an open and friendly atmosphere.
The 10th annual Dysmorphology Summer in 2024 gathered experts from Baltic states and other European countries such as Belgium, France, Slovenia and Germany. The 2026 conference aims to further strengthen international collaboration. As in previous years, we will welcome lecturers and participants from all over Europe in Palanga.
Palanga, Lithuania’s most beloved seaside resort (https://curioustravelbug.com/palanga-lithuania-things-to-do/; https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g274950-Palanga_Klaipeda_County-Vacations.html), offers an inspiring setting for academic dialogue and professional networking. Located on the Baltic Sea coast, the city is known for its long sandy beaches, pine forests, and relaxed atmosphere! It is ideal for thoughtful discussions and informal conversations beyond lecture halls.
We encourage you to participate and present a rare or challenging clinical case, an undiagnosed patient, or another relevant topic. The scientific program is still being finalized and remains open for additional contributions until 31 of May, 2026. You can send your abstract to genetika.konferencijos@gmail.com before that date for submission.
The registration fee is 85 EUR. The fee includes participation in all scientific sessions, coffee and lunch breaks. Please note closing dinner is not included in the registration fee and requires separate registration. Further details regarding dinner, possible accommodation and the final program will be provided in due course.
