description
Following the first meeting of the International Confederation of Countries Advisory Council meeting in Beijing last year, it has become evident that the concept of HVP Country Nodes has evolved from their initial definition as repositories of genetic variation information in single countries. There appears to be a desire amongst Human Variome Project Consortium members that HVP Country Nodes should be seen as a nucleus for activities relating to human genetics within a country. With this view in mind, the Human Variome Project International Coordinating Office has prepared a new model for HVP Country Nodes. This model was presented (see http://www.slideshare.net/variomeproj/a-suggested-model-for-hvp-country-nodes) at the 4th Biennial Meeting of the Human Variome Project Consortium to initiate discussion and debate during this panel session. It is a “straw man” model, meant to be knocked down, dissected and discussed, in the hopes of building a better, more representative model.

• Historically, genetic testing arbitrarily located in the environment of the 4-5 academic genetic or related departments (Medical Genetics, Chemical Pathology: Inborn Errors of Metabolism) around the country
• Federally regularised through the Dept of Health (catalog of genetic tests available)
Currently
• A range of genetic tests (on the Dept of National Health website

• Laboratories
All lab based testing through a single National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS, independent of the academics/health care providers)
Custodians of Genetic test results (as are referring clinicians)
Best placed for providing info for databases (not necessirily interested in maintainingdatabase) Some ‘b
Some ‘boutique’ tests coming out of individual research labs (idea is to get them into the NHLS system)idea is to get them into HLS system)
(
Stakeholders
• Southern African Society for Human Genetics• Academic Units/Medical Genetics
practitioners/boutique labs• National Health Laboratory Services• Government: Department of Science and
Technology/Department of Health
• Regionally: African Society for Human Genetics (excellent continental network)
Objective
To discuss and debate the model presented
• Is the model required?• Should it look like the one presented?• What does the presented model lack?
Output
• For all the countries that are here
• It would be really good value to use this documentation to provide an insight of what is going on
• Internationally valuable mapping resource
Thank You
