Abstract

In a year of surprises and extraordinary challenges, regardless of where we live or work, we have been facing an extremely small entity and fighting against it, although we do not have the tools and the natural defences sufficiently developed yet. Bearing inmindthat the“dreamisaconstant in life”andthatSPGH has a past full of widely recognized scientific events, the SPGH board of Directors together with its Scientific Commission, facing the pandemic that has deeply disturbed us, reacted with determination and persistence keeping in 2020 the main activity of the Portuguese Society of Human Genetics, its annual scientific meeting. Aiming at providing SPGH members and all Portuguese researchers working in Human Genetics the opportunity to present their research and at offering them relevant talks in updated scientific topics, internationally recognized researchers were invited to the 24th Annual Meeting of SPGH. We deeply thank Prof. Kym Boycott and Prof. Jean-Laurent Casanova, for having accepted our invitation to give a lecture on the topics in which they are experts, “Rare Genetic Diseases” and “Inborn errors of immunity to Sars-CoV-2”, respectively. SPGH members and other researchers, from different Portuguese institutions, contributed with high quality abstracts, encompassing fundamental research, diagnosis, and genetic counselling. SPGH is proud to provide to all those who submitted their work to the 24th AnnualMeeting of our Society (www.spgh.net), the publication of the abstracts in the journal Medicine, thus contributing to a wide dissemination of the research in Human Genetics performed in Portugal.
