The platform program consists of six sessions, each a thematic series of 10 minute data presentations followed by a more leisurely discussion by a panel of investigators. Data Blitz presenters will be chosen from abstracts submitted with the meeting registration. Abstracts should be submitted, electronically, by June 15th; authors of abstracts chosen for presentation will be notified shortly thereafter. Laboratories funded by the Hereditary Disease Foundation should submit at least one abstract and all are strongly encouraged to present their results on posters!
There will be time for lots of interactions among groups and we hope you take the opportunity to meet everyone and generate even more great ideas!
