On 15 March 2019 was held at the Palais des Congrès de Liège, 19Th annual meeting of the Belgian society of human genetics (BeSHG). Romain was invited to close this annual meeting by presenting to all the geneticists of Belgium the action of the Fondation 101 Génomes in General and the project 101 genomes dedicated to Marfan syndrome in particular.
At the invitation of professors Gert Matthijs and Vincent Bours, Romain has therefore closed the annual meeting of the Belgian society of human genetics[1] which was devoted this year to precision medicine: Precision medicine: application of genetics in prevention and treatment ".
The presentation received an excellent welcome. Representatives of several centres of genetics have expressed their willingness to participate in the adventure F101G or even to contribute directly to the project 101 genomes pilot dedicated to Marfan syndrome.
It was a difficult exercise to address all of the genetics professionals gathered during their large marquee annual. But it was also a real honour to be able to include in the minds of these health professionals the importance of posing as soon as possible the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome.
