Family history remains the single best genomic tool for assessing risk for both common and rare heritable conditions. This session will explore four different approaches to the development of automated risk assessment capabilities that make use of family history information. Issues to be explored include disease selection, risk algorithm development, tool construction, and strategies for validation including determination of utility for improving health outcomes.
