Disclosure Statement

AMP Abstracts

Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest The Association for Molecular Pathology requires that readers of abstracts accepted for poster presentation at the Annual Meeting be informed of the authors’ academic and professional affiliations, as well as the existence of any relationships that may bias the presentation or which, if known, could give the perception of bias. Authors were asked to disclose potential conflicts of interest. The disclosures were reviewed by the AMP Program Committee prior to acceptance of the abstract. Relationships include, but are not limited to: 1) stock options or bond holdings in a for-profit corporation or self-directed pension plan; 2) research grants; 3) employment (full or part-time); 4) ownership or partnership; 5) consulting fees or other remuneration; 6) nonremunerative positions of influence such as officer, board member, trustee, or public spokesperson; 7) receipt of royalties; 8) speaker’s bureau; 9) other. For full-time employees of industry or government, the affiliation listed in the abstract will constitute full disclosure.
