CoGEN: the trade show
CoGEN is the Meeting on Controversies in preconception, preimplantation and prenatal genetic diagnosis. The ongoing reduction in the costs of genome sequencing has brought us a giant step closer to the point in which personal genome sequencing for fertility will be standard. The methods developed in this field have already instigated a revolution, not only in biomedical research and theory, but also in our ability to diagnose incurable diseases and develop appropriate treatments. The objectives of this conference are two:
- enhance our ability to provide genetic counseling to couples interested in getting pregnant
- evaluate embryo genetics in order to increase oocyte implantation effectiveness and optimize early diagnosis of genetic diseases
