The Keystone Symposia on Human Genome Sequence Variation and the Inherited Basis of Common Disease and Quantitative Genetics in Model Organisms were held concurrently at the Beaver Run Resort this year. The dual nature of the meeting created a unique atmosphere in which participants were encouraged to cross-attend sessions. Indeed several sessions were held jointly between the two meetings creating the opportunity for interaction among a larger body of scientists than typically attend a Keystone meeting. This unusual format encouraged cross-fertilization of ideas among population quantitative and human geneticists as well as epidemiologists and genome scientists. This report is dedicated primarily to the proceedings within the Human Sequence Variation sessions. Polymorphisms and haplotype mapping Two presentations confronted the prevailing hypothesis that common diseases are likely to be due solely to common genetic variants such as those that can be identified by mapping frequent polymorphisms. Aravinda Chakravarti Johns Hopkins University Baltimore USA challenged the community by raising once again the unsettling specter that rare variants might in fact underlie a significant fraction of common disease. He presented data from his longstanding .
