2025 ClinGen Somatic Cancer and VICC Virtual Molecular Tumor Board Case Series

Course Description
This course explores the clinical significance of germline and somatic variants in cancer and provides practical knowledge on the application of clinical guidelines and bioinformatics tools for treatment recommendations. Participants will gain an understanding of how various disciplines—medical oncology, molecular pathology, genomics, bioinformatics, and genetic counseling—collaborate in cancer care. Emphasizing the importance of multi-institutional collaboration, the course covers workflows for cancer variant interpretation, including the utilization of genomic tumor boards and variant annotation pipelines.

Target Audience
All medical and healthcare professionals and researchers interested in understanding cancer genomic testing and somatic and germline variant interpretation methods. This series is presented as a collaboration between ClinGen Somatic, VICC, and ACMG consortia.
