Dear members of the Belgium Society of Human Genetics,

The 12th Annual meeting of the Belgian Society of Human Genetics on Next Generation Sequencing and Recent Advances in Genetics was again a tremendous succcess, with over 350 attendees.

The committee had created a balanced and attractive programme with broad coverage of the current progress and controversies in our knowledge of the Human Genome.

The best poster award was given to Héléna Soenen, and the best oral presentations were for Isabelle Cleynen for her talk: "Genetic and functional evidence for a role of CYLD in Crohn's Disease: results from a European consortium" and Alejandro Sifrim for his talk: "Computational annotation and interpretation of single nucleotide variation to identify disease-causing variants by next-generation sequencing".
