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.

National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetics Networks (NCC)

NCC Logo
The mission of the seven Regional Genetics Networks (RGNs), the National Coordinating Center (NCC), and the National Genetics Education and Family Support Center (Family Center) is to improve access to genetic services for underserved populations.

This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Cooperative Agreement #UH9MC30770  from 6/2020-5/2024 for $800,000 per award year.

Newborn Screening Translational Research Network (NBSTRN)

The mission of the Newborn Screening Translational Research Network (NBSTRN) is to improve the health outcomes of newborns with genetic or congenital disorders by means of an infrastructure that allows investigators access to robust resources for newborn screening research.

The NBSTRN is funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health (contract #HHSN275201300011C).
