On National Science Day 2026, the Human Genetics booth at NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru, became a vibrant hub of discovery. Students, researchers, and curious young minds gathered around interactive displays on the Genetics of Rare Diseases, exploring how inherited gene defects lead to single-gene, chromosomal, and mitochondrial disorders. The exhibit, part of India's Mission Program on Pediatric Rare Genetic Disorders, drew visitors of all ages — from school children in uniforms to college students and scientists.
