Nagoya City University at ASHG 2026

Oct 20–24, 2026 Montréal, Canada ~7.5k attendees Website

Nagoya City University brings 6 presentations from 3 research groups to ASHG 2026 in Montréal. Its program centres on rare disease, clinical genetics, and reproductive and prenatal genetics. 神経グループ presents brain-organoid research on MYCN variants, 内分泌グループ brings thyroid findings from Slc26a7 knockout mice, and 名古屋市立大学大医学研究科 新生児・小児医学分野 presents a deep-intronic NIPBL diagnosis.
