Dear Participants, 

We welcome you all for joining us in this 13th Balkan Congress of Human Genetics in Edirne between the dates of April 17-20, 2019. 

We will start our congress with four different course topics specialized in the various fields of Human Genetics, where apparent associations are frequent but cause-to-effect issues are challenging.

Major subjects of the Congress will cover Prenatal Diagnosis, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, Non Invasive Prenatal Screening, Pharmacogenetics, Genetics and Personalized Medicine, Orphan Diseases, Cancer Genetics, Complex Genetic Disorders, Omics Data and Bioinformatics tools.

We hope not only you will find the content of the program scientifically appealing, but also will enjoy being in Edirne, charming and lovely city of Turkey, hosted many cultures in the history.

On behalf of Board Members of Medical Genetics Association of Turkey and Balkan Congress Organizing Committee, we will be happy to see you all in Edirne and would like to thank you in advance for your scientific contributions.
