We came up with 2 key goals for 2030:

-resolve variants of uncertain significance ~1000 high need genes using at-scale variant effect experiments and models

-measuring the full stack of molecular and cellular phenotypes associated with disease-causing variants in a smaller set of genes

Last year, we convened a group of researchers, clinicians and others in Pittsburgh to craft a plan to measure and model the effects of all possible variants in human genes and regulatory regions
