| Title | ClinGen Vcep Breakout Session | ||
| Details | Date: 5 March 2026 Time: 07:30 – 08:20 Venue: Albatross & BirdieChairs: Marc Greenblatt, United States Sharon Plon, United States |
||
| Agenda | InSiGHT variant curation activities began in the late 2000’s with work on variants in the mismatch repair MMR genes. The Insight Variant Interpretation Committee (VIC) first harmonized multiple databases and then in the early 2010’s developed rules to classify variants. When the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed the Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) they encouraged active classification committees to develop Variant Curation Expert Panels (VCEPs) and the opportunity to apply for funding. The InSiGHT-ClinGen VCEP was awarded a grant to expand VCEP activities to other hereditary colon cancer and polyposis genes. This session will review the inSIGHT-ClinGen VCEP activities of the last 5 years, including publication of classification guidelines for APC, and look forward to new activities addressing new genes, new classification rules, and new technologies. | ||

| Agenda | This roundtable session will provide a forum for genetic counsellors to engage in discussion on how the profession is evolving across different healthcare systems and regions. Drawing on perspectives from international and cross-continental practice settings, the session will explore variation in clinical practice, regulatory environments, and professional roles, alongside broader considerations related to technological innovation, career development, research translation, and ethical practice. Brief opening remarks from the facilitators will introduce key areas for reflection and guide a moderated, roundtable-style discussion on current and emerging issues relevant to genetic counselling. | ||

| Title | Collab Lab @ InSiGHT | ||
| Details | Date: 7 March 2026 Time: 08:00 – 08:50 Venue: Albatross & BirdieChair: Joanne Ngeow, Singapore |
||
| Agenda | The Collab Lab @ InSiGHT is a dedicated meeting session designed to catalyse meaningful, cross-institutional and international collaborations in hereditary gastrointestinal cancer research. This interactive forum moves beyond traditional lecture-style presentations to create an active space for idea exchange, partnership building, and project incubation.
Recognising that impactful research often begins with the right collaborators in the room, this session provides investigators with an opportunity to briefly “advertise” ongoing or planned studies at the start of the meeting. These concise pitches will highlight research questions, unmet needs, methodological approaches, and specific collaboration gaps. The second half of the session transitions into a structured roundtable format, where interested participants can engage directly with project leads to explore potential roles, share complementary expertise, and discuss feasibility, funding pathways, and next steps. |
