Six at Sixty
Celebrating JMG's 60th Anniversary
September 2024 marks an exciting and important milestone for Journal of Medical Genetics (JMG) as we celebrate 60 years of publishing!
Over the past 6 decades, we have established ourselves as a trusted source for robust research on areas that cover the molecular basis of human disease including germline cancer genetics, clinical manifestations of genetic disorders, applications of molecular genetics to medical practice and the systematic evaluation of such applications worldwide.
To celebrate this achievement, we are reflecting on key achievements and highlighting some of the most influential research that the journal has published.
Join us in commemorating 60 years of academic excellence.
