Invitation to Paris
Dear colleagues,
Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, For the third time in the 46 years of existence of the ESHG, in June 2013, the European Human Genetics Conference will return to Paris.
On behalf of the French and the European Societies of Human Genetics I am honoured to invite you to join us in our city of lights. The history of Paris dates back to more than 2000 years ago when it was a small village on the islands of the river Seine. The river is indeed the mother of Paris and Parisians, and has witnessed their glorious history and culture. Paris, now a city of world importance as the historical, political, intellectual and artistic centre of France, also has long-standing scientific and educational traditions. This is why Paris is proud to host a conference that, I am confident, will continue in the successful series of excellent ESHG meetings covering the latest developments in the field of human genetics.
Since we are witnessing an unprecedented time of technological and scientific evolutions, I am sure that the sessions and symposia will be filled with exciting and up-to-date talks, educational lectures and distinguished speakers, hopefully making the conference a success from both the scientific as well as the social points of view.
I sincerely hope that you will seize the opportunity to have a memorable visit to Paris for a meeting that we wish to be of interest for both clinicians and research scientists, and I look forward to seeing you in June 2013.
With my best regards, season's greetings… et toute mon amitié !
Stanislas Lyonnet
President of the ESHG

The Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) invites abstracts to
be considered for inclusion in the programme as posters or spoken
presentations in 18 Concurrent Sessions.
Abstracts can be submitted only online via the website

Deadline for submission: Friday, February 25, 2013, 24.00 hrs CET
The enormous achievements in the field of Human Genetics
during the last years are changing not only our understanding of
genetics of diseases but also our research approaches and daily work in
clinic. Due to the new developments and insights traditional borders
between clinical genetics, cytogenetics and molecular genetics as well
as between research into monogenic and complex disorders are vanishing.
Therefore the scientific program committee of the European Society of
Human Genetics decided to reflect these changes in new abstract
submission categories.
Where does my abstract fit?
The technically oriented traditional categories were replaced by disease categories (2-13) which are meant to cover all aspects of the class of disorder, i. e. clinically, cytogenetically and molecularly. Of note, abstracts related to complex syndromes and cytogenetic disorders without a main symptom in one of these categories may be submitted under topic 12 (multiple malformation/anomalies syndromes). Topic 1 is reserved for more general issues of genetic counselling, education and public services. Topic 14 is meant for abstracts issuing more basic mechanism in molecular and cyto-genetics not necessarily related to a specific phenotype (e. g. splicing mechanisms, origin of ring chromosomes etc.). Topic 15 is dedicated to general aspects of technical approaches and quality control in genetic diagnostics and research, but due to its current impact there is an extra topic 16 for NGS screening studies. Topic 17 shall draw attention to brand new concepts as was for example the recently discovered chromothripsis or new techniques under development. Abstracts dealing with general aspects of Omics/Bioinformatics/
We hope that these new categories will enhance the communication between researchers using different approaches to investigate the respective phenotypic groups and facilitate the selection of workshops by attendees according to their field of interest.
