The Ohio State University at ASHG 2026

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

The Ohio State University brings 6 presentations to ASHG 2026 in Montréal. Its program at this meeting centres on population-scale sequencing, polygenic risk and computational genetics. Its presentations include whole-genome sequencing of 627,981 individuals that points to therapeutic targets for age-related macular degeneration, polygenic risk stratification of skin cancer in hypothyroid patients, and prioritization of noncoding variants at the BAG3 cardiomyopathy locus.
