Clinical Genetics Society

The Clinical Genetics Society (CGS) was set up in 1970 to bring together doctors and other professionals involved in the care of individuals and families with genetic disorders, with the following aims: to advance and promote the science and practice of Clinical Genetics
to bring together workers who have a common interest in Clinical Genetics
to understand, prevent, cure and alleviate conditions with a genetic aetiology
to publish and disseminate reports, statements, and research findings

Since its creation, the CGS membership has increased steadily to over 400 members from around the world but principally in the UK. The aims have broadened, and now include:

promoting and facilitating education, for the genetics community and other health care professionals, those outwith the profession and the wider public
encouraging high standards of training for professionals within Clinical Genetics
facilitating research into basic human genetics and genetic disorders
maintaining excellent links with patient groups
continuing constructive dialogue with government and other politicians on genetics-related issues
