Message of Gratitude and Vision for the New Year
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to our members, leaders, partners, and funders who continue to contribute to the growth of G2MC. During 2023 we have grown our membership, realigned our functional groups for greater impact, seen notable progress and achievements from our Flagship Projects and Working Groups, convened world leaders and others in the field of genomic medicine in Geneva Switzerland for our 7th International Conference, and have continued to impact individuals and communities across the globe, particularly in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) where genomic medicine can significantly impact the lives of those we reach.
Please take a moment to view the GGMC 2023 Annual Report which provides a full overview of GGMC and its consortia’s goals, activities, and achievements during 2023, and our vision for 2024.
We look forward to continued growth and your active participation in our community. Please reach out to us at any time with questions or feedback.

Membership Working Group
Co-Leads To Be Announced and Objectives Finalized - Stay Tuned for Updates!
We just closed the application for the role of co-lead of the Membership Working Group. The applications are currently in the process of being compiled and reviewed by the current leadership. We will announce the new co-leads around the end of January. The newly elected co-leads, with the help of one or more Early Career Investigators and the support of the G2MC Secretariat, will finalize the objectives, prioritize activities, and engage members to carry out implementation of the objectives of this group. The mission of the Membership Working Group is to develop and maintain membership structure, including defining who can be a member, how to become a member, what is required to maintain membership, and what benefits are included in membership.

Implementation Working Group
Progress and Next Steps in the New Year
The Implementation Working Group is developing an approach and setting standards for what a G2MC flagship project is through the development of common templates, guidelines, an application and review process for relevance to G2MC, and a monitoring plan to ensure outcomes and distribution of results to the genomic medicine community, as well as policymakers at the local, national, regional and global level.
The co-leads are finishing the creation of a questionnaire to identify projects, match necessary expertise, and emulate collaborations. It will be shared with members of the group for evaluation in January. If you are interested in being involved in the next steps let us know by completing the Join Us form if you haven’t already done so.

Genomic Medicine Clinics for Rare Genetic Disorders
Discussions Continue for Project Expansion and Collaboration
The Genomic Medicine Clinics for Rare Genetic Disorders pilot project completed its initial goal of implementing exome sequencing for the diagnosis of rare uncharacterized and undiagnosed diseases in six clinical sites located in Chile, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, South Africa, and Nepal. Results from the project were presented during the International Conference on Birth Defects and Disabilities in the Developing World (ICBD), held in March 2023 in Santiago, Chile. Results are also being submitted for publication in various journals, including a special issue of Frontiers in Genetics.
The project now has the potential for expansion, with 20 sites, in addition to the initial six sites, interested in providing exome sequencing to local individuals with rare/undiagnosed diseases. Of the additional 20 sites, 16 have confirmed their participation in the project. Additionally, opportunities for collaboration with other global organizations have emerged.
G2MC members are invited to join the upcoming Rare Genetic Disorders monthly call on January 15, 2024, at 14h UTC to hear from the co-leads on the next steps of the project.
