On 15 March 2019, the 19th annual meeting of the Belgian Society of Human Genetics (BeSHG) took place at the Palais des Congrès in Liège. Romain was invited to close this annual meeting by presenting to all geneticists in Belgium the work of the Fondation 101 Génomes in general and the 101 Genomes Project in particular.
On 22 February 2019, the third meeting of the Scientific Committee of the 101 Genome Project on Marfan Syndrome took place at the premises of Bank Delen in Brussels. During this meeting, the scientists agreed on the phenotypic criteria to be collected and discussed a proposal for algorithmic assistance in the collection of genomes for Marfan syndrome.
On 20 February 2019 the Global Commission's duplex launch by Eurordis, Microsoft and Takeda took place jointly in Brussels and New York. The Global Commission aims to shorten the diagnostic odyssey of rare disease patients. Romain was invited at this event to talk about the odyssey that has [...]

Rare genetic diseases, such as Marfan's syndrome, have long been a neglected field of medicine. Because of their rarity, the knowledge and interest of the medical profession are often inadequate, so that many patients go through a long period of research to obtain an accurate diagnosis, a follow-up and [...]
