Great presentation from @step_coral on the ACMG/AMP criteria adapted for hemoglobinopathies from ClinGen #hemoglobinopathy VCEP - improved variant interpretation for 48 variants #ASCAT2024

[Maria Xenophontos @mxenoph]

Looking forward to presenting my work on structural Hb variants at @ascatconference! Join me this Friday, October 4th, at Poster 42 to discuss how we can improve variant reporting for structural Hb variants. #ASCAT2024 @ithanet_portal @NeuroGeneticsCy

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Despite modernisation, economic growth and rising proportions of employed women in the twentieth century, for a long period of time the earnings gap between women and men hardly closed.

According to 2023 economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin, part of the explanation is that educational decisions, which impact a lifetime of career opportunities, are made at a relatively young age. If the expectations of young women are formed by the experiences of previous generations – for instance, their mothers, who did not go back to work until the children had grown up – then development will be slow.

#CA22119 - 1st Management Committee meeting #Haemoglobinopathies in European Liaison of Medicine and Science

Congratulations to @pkountour, Chair, and @mmanupe, Vice Chair, of this #COSTAction 👏

[Maria Xenophontos @mxenoph]

We showcased the utility of IthaPhen with 2 examples in (a) genotype-phenotype correlation and (b) standardized variant classification, illustrating how IthaPhen can contribute to data-driven and quantitative approaches in the field of hemoglobinopathies.

[Maria Xenophontos @mxenoph]

IthaPhen demonstrates the correlations between genotype and phenotype and is a powerful tool for clinicians & molecular geneticists.
