Important note for journalists

Abstracts are made available in advance to enable journalists to prepare stories for publication at the time of the conference. All abstracts are STRICTLY embargoed for the date and time of presentation, unless otherwise agreed with the ESHG press officer. Embargo-breaking will result in the withdrawal of media facilities to the individual journalists and to the publications concerned before, during, and after the conference.
