New for 2004: Late Breaking BSHG Abstract Submission

So as to take advantage of electronic submissions and to maximise on the most contemporary development in the fast moving field of human genetics, the Scientific Committee of the BSHG has decided to invite late breaking abstract submissions for this year’s annual meeting to be held in York from 13th to 15th September 2004.

Abstracts or enquiries by email to Ruth Cole at the BSHG office [email protected]. 

The deadline for submission will be 5.00pm on 31st August 2004. We would like to emphasise that late breaking submissions should be considered as significant advances in the field providing novel observations. As a very limited number of spoken presentations will be available for this category, a useful yardstick might be data likely to be submitted for publication to the highest impact factor journals in the field.
