Genetics in Medicine

Aims & Scope

Genetics in Medicine is the official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.

The mission of the journal shall be to enhance the knowledge, understanding, and practice of medical genetics and genomics through publications in clinical and laboratory genetics and genomics, including ethical, legal, and social issues as well as public health.

As genetics and genomics continue to increase in importance and relevance in medical practice, the journal will be an accessible and authoritative resource for the dissemination of medical genetic knowledge to all medical providers through appropriate reviews, discussions, commentaries, recommendations, standards, and guidelines.

Genetics in Medicine does not publish case reports.

Submitted manuscripts should not contain previously published material.
