Our understanding of the genetic basis of disease has been rapidly advancing thanks to major technological advances in genomic sequencing and data analysis. Yet the majority of individuals with a suspected genetic disorder do not receive a molecular diagnosis. So where is the gap and how will we fill it? This talk will touch on major global efforts to collaborate in rare disease gene discovery, genomic and health data sharing, and expert curation of genomic knowledge. It will also touch on the translation and implementation of this work into routine medical practice and chart a path for the future.
