Looking back on the Dutch and Belgian Society of Human Genetics Annual Conference

Our group was represented at the BeSHG/NVHG conference in Rotterdam, where Ivanna Fedoryshchenko, Lucia Buccioli, Irene Valdivia Callejón, Reihan(eh) Asadi and Zofia Szymkowiak presented their work during the poster sessions. 👏

Prof. Maaike Alaerts presented “AI-driven HPO guided analysis of whole genome datasets by Arun unveils clinically relevant variants in hereditary aortopathy patients”, showcasing the potential of AI-driven, phenotype-guided genomic analysis to identify clinically relevant variants in hereditary aortopathies. 💻

Anne Hebert gave an oral presentation entitled "A single cell view of aortic wall dysfunction in an AngII-infusion biglycan-deficient mouse model”, highlighting single-cell approaches to investigate the mechanisms underlying aortic wall dysfunction. 🐭

It was a great opportunity to share our work, exchange ideas, and connect with colleagues in the field of human genetics and cardiovascular disease. 🧬🔬
