Event Description
CGC Webinar Series 2025: Webinar Mini-Series: ISCN 2024 Updates
International nomenclature (ISCN 2024) for genomics for numerical and structural abnormalities
The International System for Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN) enables individuals to describe and communicate effectively normal and abnormal results found in their research or diagnostic studies. The latest version of ISCN (ISCN 2024) represents one of the most significant reviews with the generic rules being codified, plus the inclusion of genome mapping, targeted karyotyping, targeted arrays, imprinted and fusion gene nomenclature. ISCN 2024 provides a more user friendly and organized presentation of general rules, and improved example descriptions. There are additional worked examples for mixed cell populations, complete moles, composite karyotypes, uniparental disomy and more complex results. A key achievement is the provision of standardized nomenclature to ensure consistency in the ISCN description of findings irrespective of the technology used.
This webinar series is suitable for all staff working in genomics, especially those working in the field of cytogenomics. Ros Hastings, Ph.D., Chair of the ISCN Standing Committee will present a series of webinars on the changes to ISCN 2024 including their application in a diagnostic setting. The final webinar will be on genome mapping and Professor Jean McGowan-Jordan, Ph.D., will join Dr. hastings to present worked examples using the nomenclature.
There will be three interactive webinars presenting different aspects of the recently released ISCN 2024, some worked examples, the educational and competency tools available as well as a quiz and an interactive question and answer session. Participants will gain an understanding of the new nomenclature in different settings through the worked examples during this webinar. The interactive quiz session will enable participants to see how much they have understood and where further education is required.
