Dr Huw Dorkins, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Medical Genetics said "I am delighted that JMG has been selected as the official journal of BSGM. JMG is emphatically an international journal, but we welcome the opportunity to work more closely with British colleagues in publishing clinical guidelines, position statements and meeting abstracts. We anticipate that these will be of interest to a wider international audience."
