DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\nLarge\, rare copy number variants (CNVs) are assoc
 iated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability an
 d autism spectrum disorder. However\, it is possible to carry one of these
  CNVs and to be less severely affected\, perhaps even to appear unaffected
 . There is a lack of evidence on the phenotypic effects of neurodevelopmen
 tal CNVs in this group. I will be presenting work on the effects of neurod
 evelopmental CNVs in cognitive and psychiatric domains in individuals with
 out overt neurodevelopmental disorders. I'll also be speaking about return
 ing CNV results to research participants and future directions for transla
 tion.\n\n*Biography*\nDr Kimberley Kendall\, (BSc Hons MBBCh MRCPsych PhD)
  is\nan academic and general adult psychiatry trainee from South Wales. Sh
 e studied medical genetics and medicine at Cardiff University\, and later 
 completed her PhD on neurodevelopmental copy number variants at the MRC Ce
 ntre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics\, Cardiff. Dr Kendall's cl
 inical work is currently in rehabilitation psychiatry and assertive outrea
 ch\, and work mostly with individuals with psychotic disorders. Her resear
 ch interests are in how we can use psychiatric genetic findings to improve
  patient care. For more information on Dr Kendall\, please visit: https://
