We are the combination of four hospitals: the General Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, the Women’s Hospital and the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital. We are part of the Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus: a world-leading health park where healthcare plays a crucial role.
Below we will list the departments and units that form part of Vall d’Hebron Hospital and the main diseases that we treat. We will also make recommendations based on advice backed up by scientific evidence that has been shown to be effective in guaranteeing well-being and quality of life.

Abstract: The rapid advancement of Omics techniques has revolutionized the field of Precision Medicine, providing unprecedented insights into the molecular events underlying hereditary diseases. However, this progress has posed a significant challenge: the emergence of variants of unknown significance. While pathogenicity predictors have become an important tool to provide supporting evidence for variant classification, it is also true that they are far from perfect and present challenges in terms of interpretation. Within the Clinical and Translational Bioinformatics group, we have addressed this challenge by developing a suite of tools for the interpretation of pathogenicity prediction of missense variants in breast cancer genes. More precisely, we have developed a package for the graphical analysis of variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2, coupled with its implementation into a user-friendly website to facilitate broader access of these tools to the scientific community.
