Overarching Vision of the Human Variome
Project
A world where the availability of and access to
genomic variant information by both experts and
the general public is not an impediment to
diagnosis and treatment; where the burden of
disease on the human population is significantly
decreased; and where the sharing of genomic
variant information is standard clinical practice.

Goal for 2020
To increase the amount of information about
clinically validated and classified genomic
variants available on the internet in open,
curated databases, by means of cooperation at
the individual, organisational, national, regional
and international levels, so that all people can
benefit from advances in genomic medicine.
@variomeproj#HVP6
8
To facilitate growth in the amount of quality curated genomic variant data that is publicly available in all regions of the world, through developing and consolidating effective partnerships that better coordinate data collection and sharing efforts across the world.
Objective 1
@variomeproj#HVP6
9
To support the further integration of genomics into mainstream clinical practice through the development and promotion of international standards and best-practice guidelines.
Objective 2
@variomeproj#HVP6
10
To encourage meaningful and substantive advances in research into the human variome.
Objective 3
@variomeproj#HVP6
11
To strengthen national capacity in genomic variant data collection and sharing through both the delivery of strategic and targeted training, education and capacity building programs, and using effective partnerships with organizations sharing common interests.
Objective 4
@variomeproj#HVP6
12
To ensure that the next generation of scientists are attuned to collecting and sharing quality genomic variant data in a manner that is fair, open, equitable and sustainable.

Implementation
@variomeproj#HVP6
• HVP project continuing from strength to strength• Need to look at a new paradigm for coordination
– based in time zone more able to deal with the multiple global players • HVPIL wind up 30 June• UNESCO, WHO affiliation, with coordination function to move
to a new not for profit called Global Variome Ltd,• Board of HVPIL will move to this new organisation to ensure
continuity and drive both fund raising for sustainability and collaboration
