WEBINARS AND EVENTS Guidelines and Clinical Applications of Germline and Somatic Variant Classification Speakers: Amelia Hodges PhD Scott George PhD Date: 10/08/2024 Duration: 1 hour CEU: No In this webinar we will explore the elements of genetic variant interpretation and evaluate the similarities and differences in germline and somatic genetic testing. Summarize the methodologies and processes involved in germline variant classification. Examine the clinical utility of germline variant classification. Compare the methodologies used in genomic variant classification to those used in the germline space. Evaluate genomic variant interpretation structure and how it impacts treatment decision making in oncology. Hear from our speakers Amelia Hodges PhD Amelia is currently a Clinical Genomics Scientist on the Oncology team at Myriad Genetics, specializing in variant classification. She earned her PhD in Molecular Biosciences with a focus on chromatin biology and DNA repair. Her postdoctoral research focused on the regulation of gene expression in prostate cancer. Scott George PhD Clinical Genomics Scientist Scott George is a Clinical Genomics Scientist at Myriad Genetics. His work focuses on identifying DNA- and RNA-based variants in patient’s cancer cells and connecting the genetic information to targeted drug therapies and clinical trials. He earned his PhD in Biology from Brigham Young University.
