The International Federation of Human Genetics Societies (IFHGS) was formed in 1996 “to provide a transparent structure to facilitate communication throughout the international community of human geneticists” as well as provide a “forum for organized groups dedicated to all aspects of human genetics, including research, clinical practice, and professional and lay education.” A major activity of the IFHGS has been to oversee the International Congress of Human Genetics every five years. This coming year (delayed one year due to COVID-19) the 14th ICHG will be held in Cape Town, South Africa. The meeting will be co-hosted by African and Southern African Societies of Human Genetics and as the first ICHG in Africa will highlight the need to increase diversity in human genetics studies, as Africa harbors more genetic variation than the rest of the world combined. This meeting will, therefore, be important in filling a major gap in inclusivity in human genetics research. As the premier international human genetics meeting the ICHG will promote the sharing of the latest genomic and clinical findings to a broad base of attendees. A major focus of the proposal is to support junior researchers from low- and middle-income countries to participate so as to develop their skills and knowledge and promote the development of collaborations that can enhance genomic research globally. Sessions will include both research and clinical findings as well as defining ethical research practices that are inclusive and sensitive to local and diverse circumstances, with the intent of encouraging more people to become involved in genetics research as investigators and subjects. Other topics to be covered in sessions will include complex disease genetics, genetic services, genomic informed therapies, globalization of genetics and genomics research including human population genetics, and the future of genomics with an emphasis on novel bioinformatic and computational methods. Although it is anticipated that all speakers will be in person, we have developed a hybrid delivery model so that people can attend talks remotely, increasing the reach of the meeting. Invited keynote speakers include Carina Schlebusch from Sweden, Shomarka Keita from the UK and Egypt, Mayana Zatz from Brazil, Fowzan Alkuraya from Saudi Arabia and Nicole Soranzo from the UK.

国际人类遗传学会联合会 (IFHGS) 成立于 1996 年 提供透明的结构以促进整个国际范围内的沟通 人类遗传学家社区”，并提供“为有组织的团体专门提供论坛” 涉及人类遗传学的各个方面，包括研究、临床实践以及专业和非专业人士 IFHGS 的一项主要活动是监督国际大会 人类遗传学每五年一次。明年（由于 COVID-19 推迟一年） 第14届ICHG将在南非开普敦举行，会议将由非洲共同主办。 和南部非洲人类遗传学会，作为非洲第一个 ICHG 将重点强调 需要增加人类遗传学研究的多样性，因为非洲拥有更多的遗传资源 因此，这次会议对于填补这一问题非常重要。 人类遗传学研究包容性的一个重大差距。 作为首屈一指的国际人类遗传学会议，ICHG 将促进人类遗传学的共享 向广大与会者介绍最新的基因组和临床发现是该提案的主要焦点。 是支持低收入和中等收入国家的初级研究人员参与，以便 发展他们的技能和知识并促进合作的发展 加强全球基因组研究。会议将包括研究和临床发现。 以及定义对当地和当地具有包容性和敏感性的道德研究实践 多样化的情况，鼓励更多的人参与进来 会议将讨论作为研究者和受试者的遗传学研究。 包括复杂疾病遗传学、遗传服务、基因组知情疗法、全球化 遗传学和基因组学研究，包括人类群体遗传学，以及人类的未来 基因组学强调新颖的生物信息学和计算方法。 预计所有演讲者都将亲自到场，因此我们开发了一种混合交付模式，以便 人们可以远程参加会谈，扩大会议的影响范围。 特邀主讲嘉宾包括来自瑞典的Carina Schlebusch、来自英国的Shomarka Keita 和埃及、巴西的 Mayana Zatz、沙特阿拉伯的 Fowzan Alkuraya 和 Nicole Soranzo 来自英国。
