About Medical Genetics

Medical Genetics helps readers make sense of genetic information and the research behind it. We publish explanations for students, families, clinicians and researchers, alongside tools for organizing a literature search, comparing papers and preparing questions.

What you can do here

• Read the reviewed article library for explanations with sources you can check.
• Prepare a variant evidence worksheet before discussing a result with a qualified professional.
• Compare research papers and download your own reading notes.
• Use the research primer designer, with its stated reference coverage and experimental limitations.
• Find professional directories and practical questions to ask before an appointment.

What publication means

Medical articles enter the public library after recorded specialist approval. Drafts remain private. We keep the sources with each article so readers can follow the evidence and see where uncertainty remains. Read how preparation, review and corrections work.

Education and individual care

This website is an educational publication. Reading an article or using a worksheet does not create a clinical relationship, confirm a diagnosis or provide an interpretation of your personal genetic result. Contact a qualified healthcare professional for individual decisions. The care finder links to independent directories; it does not book appointments or endorse individual clinicians.

Medical Genetics is not affiliated with similarly named journals, societies or the organizations cited in our articles. Source authors have not endorsed this website unless an explicit statement says otherwise.

Contact and corrections

Use the editorial contact form for an error, a broken reference, an accessibility problem or a proposed topic. Include the page link and enough detail for us to investigate. Please do not send patient records or identifying genetic information.
