Public and private partnerships are essential to foster innovation in health industries. A great number of companies committed themselves to their development, notably during the International R&D Meetings (Rencontres Internationales de Recherche – RIR), since their launch in 2009. ARIIS’s main strategic objective is, since its creation in 2010, to develop such partnerships, and therefore, in cooperation with the Institute of Genetics, genomics and bioinformatics of Aviesan (the French national Alliance for life sciences and health), with the support of The French Foundation for rare diseases, ARIIS is organising the 6th International R&D Meeting on June 30th, 2015.

Exploring the genetic architecture of complex traits requires identification of low frequency variants with large effect size. Founder and isolated populations provide a unique and powerful resource for the identification of such causal genetic variants. Recent studies highlight that open population may also display genetic structure related to demographical history (Western France, The Netherlands). This Symposium will cover methodology and examples of gene identification in all homogeneous populations.
