[edit] Background
The American Society of Human Genetics has partnered with Genetic Alliance on many projects since GA was founded 21 years ago.
Founded in 1948, the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) is the primary professional membership organization for human genetics specialists worldwide. The nearly 8,000 members of ASHG include researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, genetic counselors, nurses and others involved in or with a special interest in human genetics.
The Society’s mission is to serve research scientists, health professionals and the public by providing forums to:
1.) Share research results through the Annual Meeting and in The American Journal of Human Genetics AJHG Web site;
2.) Advance genetic research by advocating for research support;
3.) Educate future professionals, health care providers, politicians, educators, students and the general public about all aspects of human genetics; and
4.) Promote genetic services and support responsible social and scientific policies.
