Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Am J Hum Genet 2020;107:3–14) Secondary findings are defined as genomic variants that may be unrelated to the indication for testing. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has put forth a list of 59 genes that are recommended to be considered and reported as secondary findings when genomic sequencing is performed.
