Overview
This year’s David W. Smith Workshop on Malformations and Morphogenesis format will include a combination of platform presentations, poster sessions and informal discussion sections with a relatively open format. Five focused topics selected based on canvassing previous years’ participants include: 1) Orofacial malformations, 2) Genitourinary malformations, 3) Cardiovascular malformations 4) Chromatin remodeling conditions, 5) Gastrulation and early embryogenesis, 6) Mechanisms of morphogenesis. Each day will have an invited speaker, selected on international reputation, open the day with a keynote presentation on one of the special topics. This is typically followed by presentations from submitted abstracts, related to this topic. General sessions, poster presentations and short descriptive observations of new syndromes or new fi ndings in previously defi ned syndromes including natural history are frequent presentations. Finally, a session dedicated to deciphering challenging cases brought by participants who present them and are discussed by the collective group to provide guidance in the diagnostic evaluation and therapy. Participation, limited to those with an abstract accepted, is typically ~ 140 participants to provide an optimal environment for close interaction of trainees and established faculty to foster a spirit of open discussion and career mentorship. These meetings have created hundreds of collaborative efforts at the clinical and translational interface.

Objectives
  1. Recognize and diagnose disorders of malformation and morphogenesis
  2. Formulate approaches towards the management of disorders of malformation and morphogenesis
  3. Recognize the mechanistic contributions to syndromic and non-syndromic birth defects
