Flagship Project - Rare Genetic Disorders

  • Based on results from the funded six-site pilot project, develop and implement the project to include more LMIC sites from around the world.
  • Evaluate clinical outcomes, provider and patient satisfaction, ethical, social and legal implications, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
  • Train local clinicians in genomic medicine in the genetic evaluation, result interpretation, and pre and post-test counseling.

Functional Groups Organizational Chart

Previous Working Groups

G2MC was originally made up of three Working Groups: Education, Evidence, and Policy. Each group made significant contributions to G2MC, leading to the success and growth of the organization. In 2022, as part of the G2MC Strategic Planning process and as a result of the organization’s continued growth, these groups were dissolved in order to leverage their contributions at a higher level across the parent organization, the Global Genomic Medicine Collaborative
