AGHI Genes Tested and the Associated Medical Conditions
Participants in the Alabama Genomic Health Initiative are screened/genotyped for what the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) calls “medically actionable” genetic differences in genes. Since there are over 20,000 genes in the human body, it is important to understand that this test only looks at the following genes for genetic differences that are linked to an increased risk for specific medical conditions. These genes were not fully sequenced, so a genetic difference may be in the gene outside of the areas examined. For more information please visit www.aghi.org.
Each of the following medical conditions is linked to consumer-friendly information provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Library of Medicine (NLM) at https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/
