DESCRIPTION:Disability\, and more specifically disability prevention\, is 
 at the very heart of genomic medicine\, driving the ever-widening capabili
 ties of genomic technologies. However\, very little is known about the vie
 ws of people living with genetic disabilities towards these developments\,
  as well as the consequences they anticipate both for themselves\, and wid
 er society.\n\nThis talk draws on extensive empirical (qualitative and qua
 ntitative) data from people living with five of the most common genetic di
 sorders facing the UK population\, as well as their families\, asking the 
 question: what does it mean to be a genetically disabled person in an age 
 of genomic medicine? It is only through unravelling of some of this group
 ’s  complex responses to genomic medicine that a productive\, and mutual
 ly beneficial\, dialogue be established around genomics and disability\, t
 hat has\, until now\, been largely overlooked.\n\nAll external guests need
