Call for abstracts​

The UK and Dutch Clinical Genetics societies invite you to submit an abstract for presentation and/or poster at the next Joint Clinical Genetics Meeting to be held in Maastricht. The programme includes invited presentations on all topics across the field of clinical genetics.

The programme committee has agreed to set aside multiple slots in scientific sessions for spoken presentations to be selected from submitted abstracts.

The abstract should include aims, methods, and summary of results in sufficient detail to support a conclusion. The work should be unpublished and preferably not have been presented elsewhere yet for a clinical genetics audience.

Abstracts can be submitted for spoken presentation and/or poster. Abstracts that are not selected for spoken presentations will all be considered for poster presentation.

Closing date for receipt of abstracts: 8 December 2025 23:59
