ACMG Secondary Finding (SF) Genes

The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has compiled a list of SF genes, for which specific mutations are known to be causative of disorders with defined phenotypes that are clinically actionable by an accepted intervention. The ACMG recommends that variants detected in any of these genes by a method such as whole exome or whole genome sequencing be reported, as they are of medical relevance and could be used in the future to inform clinical treatment.

The NIGMS Repository has many samples bearing characterized mutations within the genes on this list. These samples serve as a resource to investigators studying these common variants in clinically significant genes.  Please use the table below to browse genes and NIGMS samples of interest.

The NIGMS Repository is seeking to expand their available resources, and we are looking to include in our collections samples that have characterized mutations in the genes in this list. If you or your collaborators would be interested in making biospecimens with mutations in one or more ACMG SF Genes available to the research community, please contact us at NIGMS@coriell.org.
