May the record reflect…that the ACMG has published “Points to consider for providing expert witness testimony for the specialty of #medicalgenetics.” The statement covers qualifications, ethical guidelines for legal proceedings, standards of care of medical practice, and ethical business practices. https://bit.ly/4dX2ngI This points to consider statement updates guidelines published in 2000. Since then, the scope of genetics and #genomics has become further delineated in accordance with evolving roles and specializations. Genetics in Medicine #ethics #legal #ELSI

About us
Founded in 1991, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) is the only nationally recognized medical society dedicated to improving health through the clinical practice of medical genetics and genomics and the only medical specialty society in the US that represents the full spectrum of medical genetics disciplines in a single organization. ACMG is the largest membership organization specifically for medical geneticists, providing education, resources and a voice for more than 2,400 clinical and laboratory geneticists, genetic counselors and other healthcare professionals, nearly 80% of whom are board certified in the medical genetics specialties. Four overarching strategies guide ACMG's work: 1) to reinforce and expand ACMG’s position as the leader and prominent authority in the field of medical genetics and genomics, including clinical research, while educating the medical community on the significant role that genetics and genomics will continue to play in understanding, preventing, treating and curing disease; 2) to secure and expand the professional workforce for medical genetics and genomics; 3) to advocate for the specialty; and 4) to provide best-in-class education to members and nonmembers. Genetics in Medicine, published monthly, is the official ACMG peer-reviewed journal. ACMG’s website (www.acmg.net) offers resources including policy statements, practice guidelines, educational programs and a ‘Find a Genetic Service’ tool. The educational and public health programs of ACMG are dependent upon charitable gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals through the ACMG Foundation for Genetic and Genomic Medicine.

CMG publishes new ACMG Therapeutics Bulletin: “Trofinetide approved for children and adults with Rett syndrome (RTT)” in GIM Open, the College’s gold open access journal: https://bit.ly/3zOe6iI #Therapeutics #medicalgenetics #GIMOpen #RettSyndrome #MedicalEducation Rett syndrome (RTT) affects 1 in 10,000 to 23,000 females globally, making it one of the most common genetic causes of intellectual and developmental impairment in females. Trofinetide improved neuronal and synaptic function in study participants with RTT. Participants showed improvement in various behavioral, visual & communication aspects. Clinicians should plan for the most frequent side effects of trofinetide (diarrhea & vomiting) should they occur.
