Course Overview

This Interpreting Genomic Variation: Inherited Cancer Susceptibility training is a two weeks online course. Katie Snape and Beth Coad are the professors for this online course. St George's, the University of London, and CanGene CanVar designed this course syllabus and delivered it through the FutureLearn Platform. 

In this course, users will learn about how variant interpretation in cancer susceptibility genes differs from variant interpretation in rare pediatric diseases. You'll look at the variant interpretation guidelines developed by the UK Cancer Variant Interpretation Group (CanVIG-UK) and how they might be used in the classification of germline variants in cancer susceptibility genes using the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) framework.
