  HuGE Field Synopses
back to top

HuGENet™ would like to invite researchers to conduct HuGE Field Synopses in their areas of expertise. HuGE Field Synopses provide systematic, updated, and authoritative reviews of genetic associations in a specific area of research such as a disease or closely related health conditions. Authors are encouraged to summarize and grade genetic associations using the interim guidelines for assessing the cumulative evidence on genetic associations developed by HuGENet. For more information, please review the materials from the HuGENet Workshop, “Networks, Genome-Wide Association Studies, and the Knowledge Base on Genetic Variation and Human Health”.
