More about this course
  • On this course, you will consider how variant interpretation in cancer susceptibility genes has different considerations when compared with variant interpretation in rare paediatric disease
  • You'll explore the guidelines produced by the UK Cancer Variant Interpretation Group (CanVIG-UK) for variant interpretation and how these can be applied to the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) framework in the classification of germline variants in cancer susceptibility genes
  • This course will provide you with patient examples to explore the complexities of variant interpretation in cancer genomics
  • You'll also hear from experts in the field about how the CanVIG-UK guidance was created
  • You'll be encouraged to apply your learning through case-based exercises that illustrate both the strengths and weaknesses of the tools and guidelines available for cancer variant interpretation
