HVP - Hellenic Node
ABOUT
The Hellenic node of the Human Variome Project was formally accepted by and incorporated in the Human Variome project in 2010. The Node is based on the Hellenic Mutation frequency database, one of the very first National Genetic databases developed in 2005 and is kindly hosted in the Golden Helix Server of the Golden Helix Institute of Biomedical Research.
The Hellenic Node of the Human Variome Project consists of 11 Board members, originating from various academic institutions in Greece and involved in human genetics research.
