Genomic Medicine XII: Genomics and Risk Prediction

Event Details

On May 6-7, 2019, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) sponsored its 12th Genomic Medicine meeting, Genomic Medicine XII: Genomics and Risk Prediction.

The objectives of the meeting were:

  • Review the state of science of polygenic risk scores and how it can be improved
  • Examine other information sources that should be integrated with genetic variant information in predicting risk
  • Identify research directions in development and implementation of genomic risk prediction

    Discussion involving all participants to address questions from the sessions to date, such as:

    - What are the critical knowledge gaps? 
    - What impact do age and other factors have on the clinical value of genomic risk prediction?
    - How should other risk factors, such as clinical characteristics, environmental factors, and family history, be integrated with genomic risk prediction? 
    - How and in what contexts should genomic risk prediction be implemented?
    - What thresholds of disease risk or actionability should be considered for implementation?
    - Should genomic risk predictors be assessed for protective effects (i.e., low risk) and should that information be used to modify preventive health recommendations? If so, at what thresholds?
