Federal and Grant-Funded Programs
ACMG partners with federal agencies and national networks to advance genetic and genomic medicine through research, curation, and access initiatives.
Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen)
ClinGen is a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded resource dedicated to building an authoritative central resource that defines the clinical relevance of genes and variants for use in precision medicine and research. ACMG coordinates the three expert panels within the Inborn Errors of Metabolism clinical domain, as well as the Somatic work group. ACMG staff are aiding in the development of training modules on variant curation, as well as asking locus specific databases (with variant data for different genes related to the expert panels in progress) to submit their data to the ClinGen curation efforts. The ACMG meetings coordinator plans all the ClinGen face-to-face meetings (e.g., steering committee, expert panel, and work group meetings).
ACMG is a sub-contractor under #1U01HG007437-01.
