Prof. Dr. Ricardo Fernández-Ramires is a distinguished genetic counselor specializing in clinical
genetics and oncology.
He obtained his PhD in Molecular Biology from the Spanish National Cancer Center (CNIO) in Madrid.
He also completed a
fellowship at the Catalan Oncology Institute (ICO) in Barcelona. Currently, Dr. Fernández-Ramires
heads the Chilean
Hereditary Cancer Group and holds academic positions as a professor at Universidad Mayor and
Universidad de Chile.

<b>Title:</b>Facing Latin America genomic diversity: One size does not fit all
<br><br>
<b>Talk abstract:</b>
Latin America is a region characterized by rich genetic diversity, shaped by a complex history of
Indigenous, European, and African admixture.
However, this diversity is significantly underrepresented in global genomic databases. Most existing
genomic data comes from populations of
European descent, leading to a biased understanding of human genetics and creating challenges for
non-European populations, especially in Latin America.
This underrepresentation has direct consequences for precision medicine and healthcare outcomes. Genomic
studies and treatments that rely on these limited
datasets may not be fully applicable or effective for Latin American populations, leading to disparities
in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
In the context of hereditary cancer, the lack of representation in genomic databases complicates the
diagnosis and management of high-risk patients in Latin
America. Identifying pathogenic variants associated with hereditary cancer is more difficult when the
variants are not well-documented or studied. Additionally,
the prevalence of Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS), which are common in Latin American
populations, poses a significant challenge for clinicians.
VUS are genetic changes with unknown biological impact, making it harder to provide clear guidance for
patient care. These variants may be specific to the region,
further complicating their interpretation. Addressing these issues requires more robust inclusion of
Latin American populations in genomic research and expanding
the catalog of pathogenic variants relevant to this region. This would not only improve the diagnosis
and treatment of hereditary cancer but also enhance precision
medicine efforts by tailoring healthcare to the unique genetic makeup of Latin American populations.
Expanding representation in global genomic datasets is essential
for closing the gap in healthcare disparities and advancing equitable healthcare across diverse
populations.

<h2>About</h2>
<p class="text-justify lead">
The recent advances in unraveling the secrets of human conditions and diseases have encouraged new
paradigms for their prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. As information is increasing at an
unprecedented rate, it directly impacts the design and future development of information and data
management pipelines; thus, new ways of processing data, information, and knowledge in healthcare
environments are strongly needed.<br>
The fifth edition of the workshop aims to continue being a meeting point for Information Systems
(IS), Conceptual Modeling (CM), Data Management (DM), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers
working on health care and life science problems. It is also an opportunity to share, discuss and
find new approaches to improve promising fields, with a <i>special focus on Genomic Data Management
–
how to use the information from the genome to better understand biological and clinical features –
and Precision Medicine – giving to each patient an individualized treatment by understanding the
peculiar aspects of the disease</i>.<br>
From the precise ontological characterization of the components involved in complex biological
systems to the modeling of the operational processes and decision support methods used in the
diagnosis and prevention of diseases, the joined research communities of IS, CM, DM, and AI have
an important role to play; they must help in providing feasible solutions for high-quality and
efficient health care.<br>
CMLS aims to become a forum for discussing the responsibility of the conceptual modeling community
in supporting the life sciences related to these new realities.<br>

The fifth edition of the workshop focuses on Conceptual Modeling as a means for facing the
challenges that emerge when designing and developing systems for life sciences, focused on
genomics and precision medicine. The workshop is not restricted to specific research methods;
we will consider both conceptual and empirical research, as well as novel applications.

<h2>Paper submission guidelines</h2>
<p class="text-justify lead">
We invite submissions of high quality papers describing original and unpublished results
regarding
any of the workshop’s topics of interest.
<br><br>
CMLS 2024 proceedings will be part of the <a
href="https://resources.sei.cmu.edu/news-events/events/er2024/">ER 2024</a>
Workshop volume published by Springer in the LNCS series.
The authors must submit manuscripts using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.
For style files and details, see the page <a
href="https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines">https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines</a>.
The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages (plus 1-page references).
Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at <a
href="https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=er2024" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=er2024</a>,
choosing the track 'CMLS Workshop Paperes'.
<br><br>
To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly peer reviewed by the Program Committee.
Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed
and thus automatically rejected.
The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other
workshop, conference, or journal.
Submission to CMLS 2024 will be electronically only.
Papers will be judged on contribution, literature basis, novelty, clarity, relevance, and rigor.
The review process is double-blind. Submissions must be anonymized.

<h2>Post-conference publication</h2>
<p class="text-justify lead">
The papers accepted to the workshop's last edition CMLS 2022, will be published within the Springer
volume
as per the usual tradition of the ER conference joint events (see last year's <a
href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-65847-2">Advances in Conceptual
Modeling 2021</a>).
<br>
In addition, they will be invited to submit a revised and extended version
for a post-conference supplement in the journal
<a href="https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/" target="_blank"><b>BMC Bioinformatics</b></a>
or a similar venue (e.g., <a href="https://bmcmedinformdecismak.biomedcentral.com/" target="_blank"><b>BMC
Medical Informatics and Decision Making</b></a>),
depending on the topic.
</p>
<p>
The authors of accepted papers interested in submitting an extended article to a BMC
supplement will need to fill, sign, scan and submit the supplement submission letter of
interest.
This document is important for us so we can know how many extended articles we will receive.
<br>
The authors can read the BMC Bioinformatics guidelines <a
href="https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines"
target="_blank">here</a> and the BMC Medical Informatics and
Decision Making guidelines <a
href="https://bmcmedinformdecismak.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines"
target="_blank">here</a>.
There are no page limits for the BMC journals.
The articles can be submitted on the <a hred="https://www.editorialmanager.com/supp/"
target="_blank">BMC Supplements website</a>.
<br>
The submitted extended articles will go through two review phases.
In the first phase, the organizers of the CMLS 2022 workshop will serve as guest editors.
Some additional colleagues might be involved as additional guest editors, in case of high number of
submissions.
At the end of the first review phase, the guest editors will recommend the submitted extended
articles for acceptance or rejection,
and transfer them to the BMC journals' editor-in-chiefs who will take care of the second review
phase.
<br>
The BMC editor-in-chiefs can decide to confirm the guest editors' recommendations or to start a new
review phase (with new reviewers invited, new reviews, new requests, etc).
The BMC editor-in-chief will eventually make the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of
each extended manuscript.
<br>
Please note that, even if the guest editors suggest the acceptance for a specific paper, the BMC
editor-in-chief can still decide to reject it (this case is quite rare but it can still happen).
<br>
Deadline. Submission of extended articles for the BMC supplements: 20 December 2022.
