MISSION

The Evidence Working Group aims to monitor evidence of the clinical utility of genomic medicine and to promote awareness about current evidence available to support genomic medicine. The ultimate goal is to promote the implementation of genomic medicine worldwide, including in low and middle income countries.

GOALS

  • Define criteria for evidence evaluation (e.g., standard definition of a patient’s outcomes).
  • Monitor evidence of clinical utility of genomic medicine. Actively monitor emerging evidence.
  • Develop a genomic medicine implementation registry for evidence generation.
  • Develop measures that can be used across the global community for harmonization and interoperability of data (e.g., phenome; genome, missing data) for evidence-generation studies.
  • Promote awareness about the evidence available to support genomic medicine; promote implementation in low and middle income countries.
