Playing catching up: Proceedings of the 1 Spanish conference on genomic medicine.

On May 23-24, 2024, the 1 Spanish Conference on Genomic Medicine convened in Madrid, Spain. The future of genomics in Spanish-speaking countries depends on addressing all of these issues.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 An international and multidisciplinary group of experts gathered to discuss the current state and prospects of genomic medicine in the Spanish-speaking world.
• 2 There were 278 attendees from Latin America, US, UK, Germany, and Spain, and the topics covered included rare diseases, genome medicine in national health systems (NHSs), artificial intelligence, and commercial development ventures.
• 3 One particular area of attention was our still sketchy understanding of genome variants.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
